Abstract
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. A 15-year-old female presented with acute painless loss of vision in her right eye and was found to have bilateral subhyaloid hemorrhages. She was treated with intravenous steroids and transitioned to hydroxychloroquine. Her retinal hemorrhages resolved and her vision improved. 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.
