Abstract | INTRODUCTION: CASE REPORT: DISCUSSION: Non- accidental injuries can cause direct trauma and indirect traumatic sequelae. Retinal haemorrhages, especially in conjunction with unexplained trauma or changes of consciousness should arouse suspicion of shaken baby syndrome. The ophthalmologist should emphasize this and strongly recommend further investigation if not previously undertaken.
