A 2.5-month-old boy and a 2-month-old girl were admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit with impaired consciousness. Both infants had subdural hemorrhages. Because of presumed non-accidental head injury (NAHI) funduscopy was performed, which revealed unilateral hemorrhage in both children. After intensive differential diagnostics NAHI was suspected in both cases and a forensic medical examination was initiated. This case series is important because it shows that unilateral retinal bleeding does not exclude NAHI.
