  • Common injuries highly associated with child abuse include retinal hemorrhages and intracranial injury (particularly subdural hematoma due to shearing of bridging veins with violent shaking)
  • Can also commonly see long-bone spiral fractures or rib fractures, but importantly the NBME will at times try to trick you by having a parent bring in an infant with a history incompatible with bone fractures who has osteogenesis imperfecta
  • Key idea: One of the other presentations is if the parentโ€™s story does not fit known developmental milestones (saying that a 2 month old rolled off a table when children typically do not roll until ~4 months)
