ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To report a challenging case of spontaneous hyphema in the setting of prone positioning for COVID-19 pneumonia. OBSERVATIONS A previously healthy patient was concomitantly diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and COVID-19 infection. During his hospitalization he required intubation and prone positioning. Following change from prone to supine positioning, he was noted to have developed a large unilateral spontaneous hyphema. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE We present a challenging case of spontaneous hyphema due to a hematologic malignancy in the setting of prone positioning for COVID-19 pneumonia.
