The eyes of fourteen fatally abused children and sixteen control cases were examined histopathologically. Ten of the abused children showed intraocular change. The most common ocular changes were subdural hemorrhage of the optic nerve and retinal hemorrhage which involved all the layers of the retina, but most commonly the nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer and inner nuclear layer. The presence of blood cavities within the retina partially supported the hypothesis of traumatic retinoschisis. The control cases of non-abused children rarely showed intraocular hemorrhage.
对14名受虐致死儿童和16例对照病例的眼睛进行了组织病理学检查。10名受虐儿童出现眼内变化。最常见的眼部变化是视神经硬膜下出血和视网膜出血，累及视网膜各层，但最常见于神经纤维层、神经节细胞层和内核层。视网膜内血腔的存在部分支持了外伤性视网膜劈裂的假说。未受虐儿童的对照病例很少出现眼内出血。
