Of all children reported to child protective services for suspected
maltreatment in any form, the percentage of substantiated cases of
actual physical abuse is quite small. There are a number of
dermatological or radiologically demonstrable musculoskeletal
lesions that have been, or could be mistaken for, intentional
physical abuse by the inexperienced or untrained observer. Child
Abuse and Its Mimics in Skin and Bone illustrates the classic
manifestations of physical abuse by dermatological and radiological
examination as a standard against which the mimickers of physical
abuse can be compared. Beginning with a historical perspective on
child abuse, the book explores manifestations of superficial and
musculoskeletal trauma in children. It examines conditions often
mistaken for child abuse, ranging from rubella to leukemia and
bowing deformities to vitamin A intoxication, as well as a plethora
of dermatological conditions that can mimic signs of physical
abuse.Designed for a broad spectrum of individuals who may first
encounter a possibly abused child, the book presents hundreds of
photos-many in color-and examples collected by the authors over
their years of experience in their respective fields. Where
appropriate, the authors provide pertinent historical, physical,
and laboratory information in support of the diagnosis. With the
combined insight of top experts in forensic radiology and
dermatology, this volume enables clinicians and others confronted
with cases involving these conditions to avoid a rush to judgment
that could wreak havoc in a family and quite possibly delay needed
treatment for an actual medical condition.
