Macular Schisis Cavities in Non-accidental Trauma

Purpose: To illustrate a severe case of bilateral macular schisis cavities in an infant caused by non-accidental trauma. Methods: Observational case report of one patient. Results: A 6-month old male admitted to the ICU after being found unresponsive at home presented with severe retinopathy related to nonaccidental trauma. A subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage complicated his course, and he ultimately died 2 days after admission. Conclusion: We describe a case of bilateral retinopathy secondary to nonaccidental trauma and illustrate severe macular schisis cavities using B-scan ultrasonography and fundus photos.
