RESUMO
PURPOSE: Evans syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia. We report the first case of ophthalmic involvement in a pediatric patient with Evans syndrome, in which painless vision loss was the presenting symptom. METHOD: A 15-year-old girl presented with acute painless loss of vision in her right eye and was found to have bilateral subhyaloid hemorrhages. RESULTS: She was treated with intravenous steroids and transitioned to hydroxychloroquine. Her retinal hemorrhages resolved and her vision improved. CONCLUSION: Nontraumatic subhyaloid hemorrhage is a rare cause of vision loss in children. Evans syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of such patients when hematologic abnormalities are present.
