Abstract
Non-accidental head injury (NAHI) in infants is an important but difficult topic. To miss or misdiagnose NAHI potentially has important consequences. The evidence base upon which to base decisions is limited but growing. This article aims to summarise current literature and thinking in this difficult area.
