Retinal Findings in Young Children With Increased Intracranial Pressure From Nontraumatic Causes

Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) has been suggested in legal settings as an alternative cause of retinal hemorrhages (RHs) in young children who may have sustained abusive head trauma. We assessed the prevalence and characteristics of RHs in children with increased ICP. We conducted a prospecti...
