Of the injuries inflicted on physically abused children, head injuries are, in many cases, among the most damaging and potentially lethal. First responders and medical practitioners encountering children with head injuries may need to take quick and decisive measures to ensure a child’s safety and, in the case of child death investigation, will need to recognize a variety of head injuries in order to identify or to rule out abusive trauma.
Child Abuse Pocket Atlas Series, Volume 3: Head Injuries is an invaluable resource for any professionals in medicine and law enforcement investigating head injuries in children.
