When an infant or young child presents with subdural haemorrhage, the diagnostic priority is to exclude physical child abuse. A team approach should be adopted for the clinical child protection investigation. The diagnostic process is inevitably one of detective work; appropriate radiological, ophthalmological, haematological, biochemical, and postmortem investigations are discussed.
Keywords: subdural haemorrhage; abuse; child protection
Abbreviations: CT, computed tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; SDH, subdural haemorrhage
