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]

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]
