Description
Many patterns of injury have been described in the child abuse syndrome. Until recently, all the bone manifestations of this syndrome have been diagnosed radiologically. Four cases of multiple costovertebral fracture diagnosed by bone scan are described and their etiology discussed. The use of bone scanning in identifying fractures which previously would have been missed is advocated. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Bei Kindesmisshandlungen wurde bereits ueber zahlreiche verschiedene Verletzungssyndrome berichtet. Bis vor kurzem wurden alle Manifestationen des Syndroms im Knochen radiologisch diagnostiziert. Es werden 4 Faelle von multiplen kostovertebralen Bruechen beschrieben, die durch Knochenszintigraphie festgestellt wurden. Die Knochenszintigraphie wird zur Feststellung von andernfalls nicht entdeckten Frakturen empfohlen. (orig.)Additional details
