Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Abusive head trauma (AHT) in children is often missed in medical encounters, and retinal hemorrhage (RH) is considered strong evidence for AHT. Although head computed tomography (CT) is obtained routinely, all but exceptionally large RHs are undetectable on CT images in children.
