“…2 Retinal hemorrhages. Various forms of retinal hemorrhage (between arrowheads) in a case of a 10-month-old female infant with a diagnosis of SBS after being admittedly shaken: a subretinal, b intraretinal, c submembranous (still covered by the internal membrana limitans), and d subhyaloid (H&E staining; scale bar 50 μm) [115], keratoconjunctivitis [93], vertical sensory nystagmus [83], giant retinal tears [69], epiretinal membrane formation [27], and traumatic cranial nerve palsy [13,30,65].…”

Retinal and optic nerve sheath hemorrhages are an essential part of the various forms of inflicted neurotrauma in infants, especially in its most common variant, the shaken baby syndrome (SBS). Clinically, ophthalmologists play an important part for the diagnosis and further management of patients with SBS. For the forensic pathologist, a thorough understanding of the basic principles behind the morphological phenomena commonly encountered in the orbita is required. This review summarizes the present knowledge of ocular pathology in inflicted infantile neurotrauma, focusing strongly on SBS. Furthermore, a review of the most recent literature on the subject is given.

“…It can be suspected when eye injuries improve during hospitalization and get worse at home. If they are bilateral, they appear after birth and if damage predominates in the lower corneal segment since Bell's phenomenon protects the upper segment 77 . Common eye signs are wounds in the eyelids, posterior subcapsular cataracts, peripheral chorioretinal atrophy, and preretinal and retinal hemorrhages 76 ; in addition, the diagnosis of abuse should be considered whenever the child has a retinal disease, and optic atrophy 78 .…”

Visual impairment is a condition that occurs throughout life. Although the disability goes beyond the biological aspect, visual deficiencies in the range of low vision or blindness can impact development and visual function depending on age, having a broad etiology and several important health considerations for its prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. This is a review of the etiological spectrum and health considerations of visual impairment during early childhood, based on key aspects of the neurodevelopmental aspects of vision, the etiological classification, and the most common causes of visual impairments capable of causing visual disability during early childhood. Retinopathy of prematurity, congenital cataracts, corneal opacities, congenital retinal diseases, and uncorrected refractive errors stand out as preventable causes or reversible visual impairment. In addition, vitamin A deficiency, trauma blindness, and child abuse are significant causes that should be assessed in children with visual impairment, etiologies that go beyond visual health. It is a priority to identify, in a timely manner, the preventable and treatable causes, and to recognize the inevitable ones to establish functional and comprehensive rehabilitation processes.

“…Se define como el conjunto de signos y síntomas que manifiestan los niños que han sido abusados físicamente, generando trauma físico, mental y emocional permanente 76 . Este se puede sospechar cuando las lesiones oculares mejoran al estar hospitalizados y empeoran en el hogar, si son bilaterales, aparecen posterior al nacimiento y si el daño predomina en la parte inferior corneal, ya que el reflejo de Bell protege la porción superior 77 . Las manifestaciones oculares habituales son heridas en los párpados, catarata subcapsular posterior, atrofia coriorretinal periférica y hemorragias retinales y prerretinales 76 ; adicionalmente se debe considerar el diagnóstico de maltrato como posibilidad siempre que el niño presente enfermedad retiniana y atrofia óptica 78 .…”
