Abstract

An error occurred in the article by Feldman et al, titled “The Cause of Infant and Toddler Subdural Hemorrhage: A Prospective Study” published in the September 2001 issue of Pediatrics (2001;108[3]: 636–646; doi:10.1542/peds.108.3.636).On page 638, in Table 1, the row “Likely Abuse” read as follows: “Single vintage injury; minor (eg, fall from couch) or no event history; symptoms or signs of more global primary brain injury; associated injuries may be present but are limited to skull fractures, retinal bleeding, or single, local impact bruise; single injury field.”This should have read as follows: “Single vintage injury; minor (eg, fall from couch) or no event history; symptoms or signs of more global primary brain injury; associated injuries may be present but are limited to skull fractures or single, local impact bruise; single injury field.”The authors note that “retinal bleeding” was a mistaken carryover from previous authors’ similar schemas. The authors excluded retinal hemorrhages from their diagnostic criteria for abusive head trauma.
