| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To present a rare presentation of abusive head trauma (AHT) in an infant with a hereditary vitreoretinopathy. Observations: A two-month-old infant female victim of AHT presented with bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachments from giant retinal tears. She had rib fractures, a subdural hematoma, and hyphemas bilaterally. Retinal hemorrhages were not observed. The left eye was repaired by vitrectomy with intermediate-term perfluorocarbon liquid tamponade. Genetic testing demonstrated a pathogenic COL2A1 mutation confirming Stickler syndrome. Conclusions and Importance: Ophthalmic complications of AHT classically manifest as retinal hemorrhages in multiple layers. Instead, bilateral RRDs from GRTs were observed in this infant with Stickler syndrome. Competing Interests: The following authors have no financial disclosures: JJE, VMU, RAS. (© 2019 The Authors.) |
