Physical Abuse Creating Cauliflower Ear in an Infant: A Discussion of Mechanism and Review of the Literature

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Physical Abuse Creating Cauliflower Ear in an Infant: A Discussion of Mechanism and Review of the Literature Via Otolaryngology Indian Abstract We evaluated an infant with flagrantly abusive injury. However, he had a history of prior isolated ear hematoma that was not properly recognized as a sign of trauma, harshly illustrating a missed opportunity when early diagnosis may have prevented escalating abusive injury. In addition, we reviewed and summarized the last two decades of literature related to this topic to better understand previously described findings in similar populations; these were scant. This case report emphasizes the importance of detecting sentinel injuries that forebode child maltreatment. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.
