In addition, complete ophthalmic and radiological examinations and vitreoretinal surgery were performed.Results: Right eye had a complete recovery while the left eye showed serious proliferative vitreoretinopathy and shortened retina. Three years after the surgery clinical examination showed that the right eye was aphacic with an attached retina and clear ocular media while the left eye was phtysic.Conclusion: We recommend broad clotting profile for infants suffering from vitreous or retinal hemorrhages with no obvious physical abuse. Our present case furthermore implies that afibrinogenemia can lie beneath the pathogenesis of bilateral leukocoria and should alert physician for the presence of an afibrinogenemia among several types of bleeding predispositions.Keywords: afibrinogenemia, retinal hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, vitrectomy M Necati DemirMehmet Akif AcarYusuf Ziya AralNurten &Uuml;nl&uuml;Dove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2008, Iss Issue 2, Pp 469-473 (2008)
