Abstract Purpose: To report an infant with transient abnormal myelopoiesis and retinal hemorrhage.

Case: A male infant was born after gestation of 41 weeks with birthweight of 3,420 g. He showed signs of impaired respiration immediately after birth and was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. He was diagnosed with Down syndrome with transient abnormal myelopoiesis. He was referred to the Department of Ophthalmology on day 21 after birth.

Findings and Clinical Course: The infant showed characteristic facial features of Down syndrome. Both eyes showed dilatation and tortuosity of retinal vessels. The left eye showed retinal hemorrhage. The left eye developed fibrous proliferation with vitreous hemorrhage on day 45, and received panretinal photocoagulation. Findings in the left eye improved for one year until present.

Conclusion: Transient abnormal myelopoiesis in the present case appears to have resulted in hyperviscosity syndrome with intraretinal ischemia. Early ophthalmological examinations were essential for the favorable outcome.
