In this study patients who were not found to have an etiological factor such as trauma, eye infection, hypertension, diabetes and drugs, that would cause SCH were evaluated for bleeding disorder. We also firstly evaluated for congenital or acquired bleeding disorder and spontaneous subconjunctival hemorrhage with once and those with two or more. We found no increased incidence of congenital or acquired bleeding disorders in SCH patients compared to the normal population. In terms of bleeding history in two patients with vWD, they reported more bleeding findings in other patients. It was concluded that only SCH patients with a history of other systemic bleeding such as recurrent epistaxis, skin and mucosal, minor post-traumatic bleeding, hematuria, gastrointestinal bleeding, tooth extraction, post-operative bleeding, hemarthrosis, menorrhagia should be screened for congenital bleeding disorder.
