Kumar Choudhary A, Servaes S, Slovis TL et al (2018) Consensus statement on abusive head trauma in infants and young children. Our study supports and builds on the existing literature, thereby offering a more complete view of the spectrum of calvarial damage sustained as a result of AHT in the context of its diagnostic pitfalls. Eleven fracture mimics including accessory sutures and wormian bones were also identified in this cohort. There were also a substantial number of complex stellate fractures, namely of the parietal (29%) and occipital (10%) bones. Resultsįorty-two skull fractures were identified and described in our cohort, most of which were simple linear fractures of the parietal bones (33%). Our data was then interpreted in the light of known anatomical fracture mimics and the available literature on the subject. Seventeen patients with skull fractures were identified and their fractures were described in terms of anatomical location, type and course. MethodsĪ retrospective analysis of sixty-three patients referred to our institution with suspected AHT was carried out.
#Skull fracture series
This is achieved through the presentation of a case series set in the context of the unique morphology of the infant skull and the possible diagnostic pitfalls which may arise due to the presence of variant anatomy or other mimicking conditions. The authors provide a comprehensive framework with which to approach paediatric calvarial injury sustained as a result of suspected abusive head trauma (AHT).
