Blinding keratoconjunctivitis and child abuse. | LitMetric

Blinding keratoconjunctivitis and child abuse.

Am J Ophthalmol

Ophthalmology Department, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, England, UK.

Published: January 2005

Purpose: To report an unusual, blinding inflicted eye injury in young children.

Design: Observational case report.

Methods: Retrospective study in an institutional clinical practice of two families in whom the probands had inferior half keratoconjunctivitis and additional signs of child abuse.

Results: Two unrelated infants presented with bilateral, asymmetrical, external eye disease affecting the lower half of the cornea and conjunctiva. One eye had perforated. All eyes recovered quickly while the patients were in the hospital with no specific treatment. There were other signs of child abuse detected by further studies on the patients, and in one case, the younger sibling was the subject of severely damaging physical abuse.

Conclusions: Inflicted corneal injuries are nonspecific, and unexplained keratoconjunctivitis, especially in the lower half of the conjunctiva and cornea in infants should alert the clinician to the possibility child abuse, but, by itself cannot be taken as being pathognomonic of abuse.
