Long-Term Visual Outcomes Following Abusive Head Trauma With Retinal Hemorrhage

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus {JAAPOS}

TAKE-HOME MESSAGE

• In this long-term follow-up study (average follow-up period, 30.3 months) of children who suffered an abusive head trauma with retinal hemorrhage, the authors found a high rate of vision impairment, including strabismus, amblyopia, and cortical vision impairment (CVI).

• In this cohort, CVI was strongly associated with strabismus, which most commonly presented as exotropia.
