title: Subretinal hemorrhage masquerading as a hemorrhagic choroidal detachment in a case of nonaccidental trauma.
abstract: Retinal hemorrhages are the most commonly reported ocular findings in nonaccidental trauma in children. Other reported ocular findings include perimacular folds, traumatic retinoschisis, choroidal hemorrhages, and retinal detachments. We report the clinical and pathologic findings in a case of a 10-month-old boy who sustained nonaccidental trauma and whose clinical presentation was characteristic of a hemorrhagic choroidal detachment. Postmortem examination revealed a large subretinal hemorrhage, with no evidence of choroidal hemorrhage.
