Abstract
This article explores in detail the mechanisms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term implications of this condition. We report the case of newborn A. S, 2 days old, with first-degree consanguinity, presenting with exophthalmos of the right eye since birth, general examination revealed diffuse petechiae, ecchymoses in the thighs, stage I exophthalmos, no ophthalmoplegia, normal anterior segment, fundus without particularities. In cases where the orbital hematoma exerts significant pressure on the eyeball or causes visual complications, surgical intervention may be necessary. The diagnosis of hemorrhagic syndrome of the newborn was retained, and treatment was instituted with vitamin K and corticosteroids, with good clinical progression.
