A case of massive chylous ascites associated with transection of the pancreas secondary to occult child abuse is presented. Computed tomography and ultrasound demonstrated exquisitely the location and extent of the clinically occult pancreatic injury. Also demonstrated was the complete resolution of the chylous ascites and the resolving and later completely resolved pancreatic injury following non-operative conservative treatment with total parenteral nutrition.
Studies of natural language development suggest that overextension of family memberships terms, such as daddy or papa, occurs in children in the second year of life, but rarely persists thereafter. However, in British Courts it is common for the testimony of 3- and even 4-year-olds to be dismissed on the grounds that these children may not be reliably identifying their father or stepfather when they claim that daddy was the perpetrator of abuse. This study examined whether 3-year-olds could be persuaded to confirm that a stranger who was labelled as daddy was their own father. A mock interview with experienced disclosure interviewers was conducted. Five of the 17 children--all from blue-collar families--misidentified a photograph of their own father when an identification question was repeated. Rather than undermining the validity of all preschoolers testimony, it is suggested that the responses of some children to apparently mundane questions of fact are influenced by contextual factors, including repetition of the question and the perceived omniscience of the interviewer.
Many health care professionals believe that there is a very short interval between an act of ultimately lethal infant shaking and the onset of symptoms (altered consciousness, convulsions, respiratory distress, and so on). We reviewed the English-language medical literature on the shaken baby syndrome for case reports or other information that documents the time of onset of symptoms after an act of ultimately lethal infant shaking. The medical literature contains minimal data that substantiate or contradict the contention that is stated here.
