Abstract
After a short review of the non-traumatic, and rare, causes of vitreoretinal hemorrhages in infants, we analyze the 4 situations where a traumatic hemorrhage can be found: accidental head trauma, which has to be very severe and is then an unfrequent etiology, head trauma in child abuse or the so-called "shaken baby syndrome", which is the most frequent cause, and where we point out the key role of the ophthalmologist in the diagnosis and the prognostic evaluation, the perinatal trauma, which is a frequent, benign, and ephemeral cause, and finally, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which is a controversial and unlikely cause.
