AB  - While the implementation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis in the 
      hospital setting is a major concern, the use of antithrombotic agents is fraught 
      with a variety of hemorrhagic complications. Due to increasing reports of adverse 
      reactions to unfractionated heparin (UFH), several manufacturers have initiated 
      product recalls. As a result, the use of low-molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) 
      such as enoxaparin has risen substantially. In this paper, 2 orbital hemorrhagic 
      complications in patients receiving enoxaparin therapy will be presented. The 
      incidence of DVT in the OMS patient, recent prophylactic strategies, and their 
      effectiveness will be reviewed.
