Nonaccidental trauma: bilateral corneal abrasions as only initial presentation.

We report a case of nonaccidental trauma in a child who presented emergently with bilateral corneal abrasions of unclear etiology. It was later discovered that these lesions were actually caused by the newborn's father, who had forcefully pressed his thumbs against the child's orbits. Although uncommon, such types of anterior segment pathology should raise suspicion of nonaccidental trauma.
