Secondary acute anterior uveitis with hyphema in a purpose-bred kitten

J Am Assoc Lab Anim Sci. 2008 Jul;47(4):57-60.

Abstract

The sudden onset of unilateral blepharospasm and hyphema, without evidence of corneal damage, initiated a thorough diagnostic work-up of an 11-wk-old purpose-bred intact male domestic shorthair kitten. Secondary acute anterior uveitis and hyphema were most likely due to trauma within the primary enclosure.
