to be filled with rage, to fly into a rage (or, simply, to be furious)
The idiomatic expression "quedarse con la sangre en el ojo" just means to be furious, angry, mad, raving, etc.
There is no metaphoric equivalent in English (at least, not that I know of) for that expression, so I would say: "to be filled with rage" or "to fly into a rage".
Good luck!

Comment: "boy, that was fast!
Thanks for your help. I agree with you that there's no equivalent for this expression. I've tried to look it up in all the dictionaries at hand, with no luck.
I don't trust Simon too much, though..I prefer Larrouse, or Collins eng-spanish
Thanks again."
