Infants with multiple unexplained fractures are often victims of inflicted injury. Fractures from child abuse are significantly more common

The authors describe multiple unrecognized fractures of infant suffering from chronic subdural hematoma.

Keywords: physical abuse, infants, multiple fractures, chronic subdural hematoma
