Résumé
A seventy two year old white male developed bleeding from a right eye subcondunctival hemorrhage. The patient had been taking warfarin and, it was immediately discontinued. Two doses of 15 mgs. each of Vitamin K given parentally reduced the prothrombin time, but not the oozing of blood which finally stopped after the administration of fresh frozen plasma. Fortunately, no retrobulbar or intra-ocular bleeding ocurred. This complication during the use of anticoagulants has never, to our knowledge, been reported before in the medical literature
