Imaging of Neonatal Child Abuse with an Emphasis on Abusive Head Trauma
2011, Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :In these patients, radiography had a sensitivity of 77% (95% confidence interval [CI] 67%–85%, 75 fractures in 98 patients) for a positive condition on CT. In a series of 47 children who sustained AHT, studied by Rao and colleagues,32 31 (65.9%) did not have a skull fracture. In a study by Merten and colleagues33 among children with AHT, a skull fracture was seen in 45% of cases and intracranial conditions were seen in 56% of children with a skull fracture.
What neuroimaging should be performed in children in whom inflicted brain injury (iBI) is suspected? A systematic review
2009, Clinical RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Fig. 1 summarizes the total number of studies identified and reviewed. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria reflecting data on 367 children with iBI.1,6,14,16–30 There were two cross-sectional studies,1,25 and the rest were case series or case studies.
Reversal sign on ante- and postmortem brain imaging in a newborn: Report of one case
2008, Forensic Science InternationalCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, the majority of subdural hematomas in the AI group were unilateral, below the injury site, although they were generally bilateral for NAI. According to Rao et al. [11] and Zimmerman et al. [12], NAI is strongly associated with acute interhemispheric fissure subdural hematoma. The outlook of these newborns or children is extremely poor, whatever the underlying causes of the hypoxic ischemic brain injury.
