TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Retinal haemorrhages in non-accidental head injury in childhood JO - Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde (1963) A1 - Oberacher-Velten, I. M. A1 - Helbig, H. SP - 883 EP - 889 VL - 231 IS - 9 N2 - Retinal haemorrhages are one of the three cardinal manifestations of the "shaken baby syndrome" or "non-accidental head injury" in childhood. The role of an ophthalmologist in suspected non-accidental head injury has not only medical but also legal aspects and has been discussed controversially in the literature. The differential diagnosis and the specificity of retinal haemorrhages in childhood for an abusive head trauma will be pointed out in this paper.
