Retinal Hemorrhages in the Newborn Following Labor Induced by Oxytocin or Dinoprostone

Severe cough and retinal hemorrhage in infants and young children

“…We included only infants older than 3 months to overcome possible persistence of labor Valsalva retinopathy that usually resolves within a few weeks after delivery. 4 One limitation of our study is the absence of an acceptable grading scale for the severity of cough. Therefore, to select patients with severe coughing, we included children with cough lasting Ն3 days, who were referred to the Emergency Department because of coughing and needed hospitalization.…”

Retinal hemorrhage and pediatric brain injury: etiology and review of the literature

“…Large preretinal hemorrhages take a little longer to clear. 6,13,[20][21][22] Among premature newborns, retinal hemorrhages are frequent. Retinal hemorrhages tend to occur in the acute phases of the retinopathy of prematurity.…”

Retinal Hemorrhage in Abusive Head Trauma

“…45 Prostaglandins, powerful mediators of vascular autoregulation, are felt to be a major etiologic mechanism in birth RH. 46,47 The orbital trauma of SBS includes damage to cranial nerves that carry autonomic supply to retinal vessels for autoregulation, 35 which suggests that the biochemical mediation of RH in SBS may occur via disrupted vascular autoregulation either from vitreoretinal traction at blood vessels and/or direct autonomic nerve disruption within the orbit.…”
