Abstract

Two patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and recurrent uveitis had rubeosis iridis each with an episode of spontaneous hyphema. Rubeosis iridis has been reported to occur in some cases of uveitis, but it has not been seen in those associated with AS. We suggest that AS be included among the conditions that can lead to the development of rubeosis iridis, with consequent silent hyphema.
