N2  - A three-month old, premature female infant is presented with severe bilateral occult ocular damage comprised of cataracts, lenses dislocation, retinal hemorrhages and total funnel-shaped retinal detachment without external signs such as bruises. This severe eye trauma is the result of child abuse. We would like to alert pediatricians as well as ophthalmologists that any ocular injury should raise the possible diagnosis of battered child syndrome even in the absence of other supportive evidence of external trauma.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
