Abstract

The detailed documentation of ocular pathology has become an important component in the autopsy investigation of suspected cases of non-accidental injury in infants and young children. Careful histological examination of retinal haemorrhages is of critical importance, but there remains debate about the significance of some findings. This issue has been thrown into sharper relief by recent neuropathological studies questioning the mechanisms of some CNS findings. To discuss the importance of histological findings in the retina and their potential significance and specificity, we have invited contributions from authors in the USA and UK.
