Abstract

A consecutive group of 22 children admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of non-accidental injury, underwent detailed ophthalmic examination within 24 hours of their admission. Five of these children had obvious periocular soft tissue injury, but only two had serious ocular involvement. The indications for ophthalmic examination in cases of suspected non-accidental injury are discussed in the light of these findings.
