| Abstract |
Violent shaking of young infants has a variety of ocular and systemic sequelae, including retinal and subdural hemorrhages, seizures, coma, and death. The syndrome can be difficult to recognize because of the lack of external signs. The retinal examination and computed tomographic findings are absolutely essential for making the diagnosis, but very little information is available concerning this disorder in the ophthalmology literature. This paper presents the findings of a case of shaken baby syndrome and discusses the challenges in diagnosis. |
