Multiple fractures of infant suffering from chronic subdural hematoma as a consequence of physical abuse?
Infants with multiple unexplained fractures are often victims of inflicted injury. Fractures from child abuse are significantly more common in children under 18 months of age than in older children, which should inform the differential diagnostic approach in this age group. The authors describe multiple unrecognized fractures of infant suffering from chronic subdural hematoma.
Keywords: physical abuse, infants, multiple fractures, chronic subdural hematoma.
