A hemorrhage that partially fills the anterior chamber with blood is called
Hyphema
Ptosis
Pterygium
Drusen
The correct answer is: Hyphema
A hemorrhage that partially fills the anterior chamber with blood is called a hyphema. A hyphema is typically caused by trauma to the eye, resulting in bleeding inside the front part of the eye. This condition can be serious and requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications such as increased eye pressure and potential vision loss. Ptosis refers to drooping of the upper eyelid, pterygium is a growth of pink, fleshy tissue on the conjunctiva, and Drusen are yellow deposits under the retina. These conditions are not related to bleeding in the anterior chamber of the eye, making them incorrect choices in this case.
