We report a 5-year-old boy who presented with diffuse abdominal pain, non-thrombocytopenic purpuric skin rash, and bilateral multiple foci of subconjunctival hemorrhage in the inferior bulbar conjunctiva. The patient was diagnosed clinically with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), according to EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria.HSP is a leukocytoclastic small vessel vasculitis. Ocular involvement is very rare. Episcleritis, keratitis, uveitis, cystoid macular edema and cotton wool spots, central retinal artery occlusion, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and subperiosteal hematoma were reported previously. Here, we present a case of bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage in a child with HSP for the first time in the English literature.

başvuran 5 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Hastaya EULAR / PRINTO / PRES
kriterlerine göre klinik olarak Henoch-Schonlein purpurası (HSP) tanısı konuldu.
HSP bir lökositoklastik küçük damar vaskülitidir. Oküler tutulum çok nadirdir.
Episklerit, keratit, üveit, kistoid maküla ödemi ve atılmış pamuk manzarası ,
santral retinal arter tıkanıklığı, ön iskemik optik nöropati ve subperiosteal
hematom daha önce bildirilmiştir. Burada, İngiliz literatüründe ilk kez HSP'li
