Abstract

A recent study conducted by the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology highlights the issue of battered baby syndrome, which refers to repetitive physical injuries sustained by a child due to non-accidental violence from a parent or guardian. The study presents a case of an 18-month-old girl who was admitted to a hospital with multiple injuries, including a head injury, fractures, and retinal hemorrhages. The researchers emphasize the importance of healthcare providers being vigilant and informed about child abuse patterns in order to protect the well-being of children. [Extracted from the article]
