Vitreous hemorrhage - bilateral

Discussion:

This child developed DIC in between the admission head CT scan and the second study seven hours later. Retinal hemorrhages can be seen on MR susceptibility weighted imaging in infants who have intracerebral hemorrhage or increased intracranial pressure. These hemorrhages are rarely seen on head CT. 

The child died the next day. Cerebral edema, subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage, and retinal and vitreous hemorrhages were confirmed on autopsy.
