OBJECTIVE: The present study was undertaken to examine specific features of unintentional traumatic asphyxial deaths in childhood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

He was cyanotic in his face and had a tire mark from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, petechiae on the head, face, conjunctiva and chest, oral bleeding, and facial edema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intracranial and retinal hemorrhages have been surprisingly infrequent in traumatic asphyxia. [synapse.koreamed.org]

They say that intracranial and retinal hemorrhages have been surprisingly infrequent in traumatic traumatic asphyxia patients, with the prognosis for vision usually good and vision loss temporary. [aao.org]

Visual disturbances occur in some cases [9], secondary to the same mechanism as neurological involvement with multiple presentations: retinal hemorrhage, retrobulbar hemorrhage and vitreous exudates [2]. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

At ocular level there may be exophthalmos, double vision, loss of visual acuity, and blurry vision, these alterations are explained by retinal hemorrhages [ 12 ]. [casereports.in]

In children, visual impairment is easily missed unless the degree of handicap is severe. All children should have their fundi and visual acuity assessed before discharge following significant trauma, including all episodes of traumatic asphyxia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The authors conclude that ischemia of the optic nerve associated with retrobulbar hemorrhage may be one of the causes of permanent visual impairment following traumatic asphyxia. [aao.org]

This case demonstrates that ischemia of the optic nerve associated with retrobulbar hemorrhage may be postulated as one of the causes of permanent visual impairment following traumatic asphyxia. [synapse.koreamed.org]

Uncommon features: Chemosis Exophthalmos Retinal haemorrhages and visual loss Vitreous haemorrhagic exudates (Purtscher’s retinopathy- Choi et al, 2010 ) Retrobulbar (posterior orbital) haemorrhages Haemotympanum Other sequelae: Loss of consciousness [derangedphysiology.com]

In a bedside ophthalmologic examination, severe bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhages, chemosis, severe periorbital swelling, and mild exophthalmos were found ( Fig. 1 ). [synapse.koreamed.org]

Neither were associated with neck pain, neck tenderness, or mechanism of injury associated with cervical injury, and each resolved spontaneously. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Traumatic asphyxia is an uncommon syndrome of craniocervical cyanosis, facial petechiae, and subconjunctival hemorrhages following severe crush injury to the thorax. Ocular manifestations of the syndrome have rarely been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All of these findings (conjunctival/facial petechiae, craniofacial congestion/swelling) were present in all of our patients. [link.springer.com]

The patient had facial purple congestion, diffuse head and neck edema and petechiae in the entire face, neck and upper chest (Figure 1). [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

These factors included compression of the neck, intoxication with illicit drugs, alcohol or psychotropic agents, psychiatric or drug-induced state of agitated delirium, or internal diseases. [charlydmiller.com]

Microscopic hematuria was noted in one patient. Diagnosis is made from the history and characteristic appearance of the patient. Treatment is directed to the associated injury. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Coronary artery contusion, malignant arrhythmias, and a normal electrocardiogram were also noted and discussed. The relevant literature was reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
