Question
How should we treat minor retinal vein bleeding in children, and what potential sequelae might there be?
Answer
Prompt treatment is essential, with a favorable prognosis and generally no sequelae. Subependymal hemorrhage in newborns may be caused by intrauterine hypoxia or due to traumatic force during cesarean section, but the former is more likely. Guidance: Neonatal ICU in pediatrics should adopt conservative treatment as much as possible, aiming to stop the bleeding and prevent the expansion of the hemorrhagic area. Subependymal hemorrhage can cause white matter damage, affecting the child’s intelligence quotient later on. Prompt treatment leads to good recovery outcomes.
