Abstract

In 1860, Ambroise Tardieu described in small children a series of traumatic lesions with common characteristics indicating physical maltreatment: 55% of these cases involved children younger than 5 years, and 30% were under 1 year [1]. In 1946, Caffey reported the frequent association of central nervous system injuries with bony lesions. Since then, various terms have been used in reference to this constellation of symptoms, such as Ambroise-Tardieu syndrome, Caffey-Silverman syndrome, parent-infant trauma syndrome, battered child syndrome, and non-accidental-injury (NAI) [2, 3].
