Summary
Subretinal fluid (SRF) detected by handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a pediatric nonaccidental trauma case resolved spontaneously. This highlights transient SRF as a potential indicator of retinal injury in such cases.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatric Medicine
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Nonaccidental trauma (NAT) in children can cause severe retinal injuries.
- Retinal hemorrhages are a common finding in abusive head trauma.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers detailed structural imaging of the retina.
