Abstract

Unfortunately, physical abuse in children is a frequent condition. Paediatricians need to be aware and to know what signs are more frequently associated with this condition. Bruising, bone fractures, burns, retinal haemorrhages, subdural haematomas are associated with the presence of physical abuse and they should be searched for in front of suspected history. This article describes the clinical signs mostly associated with physical abuse in children and describes what features make these clinical signs highly suggestive of physical abuse. The images and figures will help the reader to contextualize the text.
