“…A primeira monografia descrevendo a síndrome da criança espancada, Étude médico-légale sur les sevices et mauvais traitements exercés sur des enfants, foi escrita por Ambroise Tardieu, médico-legista francês, em 1860 (Roche et al, 2005). O mesmo autor, já em 1857, em Étude médico-légale sur les attentats aux moeurs, analisara 632 casos de abuso sexual de mulheres, em sua maior parte meninas, e 302 contra meninos e jovens do sexo masculino, descrevendo os sinais físicos conforme a gravidade do caso.…”

Child abuse is a global health problem. For this reason, it is important to perform suitable medical approaches in suspected cases of child abuse in the emergency room. The first consideration is performing life-saving medical approaches. Reporting the case to judicial authorities and the correlation of medical examination findings with medicolegal history are other important steps. We report a case of a 3-year-old male child who died after severe physical abuse. In suspected cases of child abuse, examination of the fundus is important. If death occurs, histopathological examination of eye globes must be performed to determine the cause of death. The present case was the first in which eye globe examination was performed in Izmir, Turkey. Autopsy findings revealed subdural hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by blunt trauma. The cause of death was blunt head trauma, and the manner of death was listed as homicide. Except for microhemorrhages in the optic nerve sheath, no pathological finding was identified in the retina. Retinal hemorrhage can be seen in child abuse cases, and it is associated with a poor prognosis if present; however, the absence of retinal hemorrhage does not exclude child abuse. Crime scene investigation findings, witnesses' statements, medical records, and autopsy findings must all be taken into consideration in child abuse cases in a correlative and holistic manner.
