AB  - In  1946  John  Caffey  described  the  association  of  subdural  hematomas  and  skeletal  fractures  in  infants  and  raised  the  possibility  of  maltreatment  to  explain  these  injuries.1  Kempe  and  Silverman  later  coined  the  term  “battered  child  syndrome”  in  a  landmark  article  to  the  general  medical  community  that  described  the  characteristic  radiologic  features  seen  in  abused  children.2  Child  abuse  is  the  second  most  common  cause  of  brain  injury  and  fractures  in  infants  and  young  children.3  Diagnostic  imaging  is  crucial  in  the  evaluation  of  child  abuse  and  its  imitators.
