Résumé : For the most adequate management of child abuse a multidisciplinary approach is essential. The paediatrician's role is to collect a complete and careful description of the physical lesions and to conduct a full clinical examination including a precise description of all injuries. Investigations such as skeletal X-rays often provide supportive evidence for the diagnosis. Some lesions are typically associated with non-accidental injury (NAI). In this paper characteristics of injuries classically observed in child abuse are described.
