Extract

A 3½ month old baby boy was admitted to the children's ward with subdural and subarachnoid haemorrhages which had impaired his hearing and vision, with permanent damage to the brain. Further investigations confirmed the child as a battered baby (Generation VI No. 2 on Fig. 1., No. 12 on Fig. 2).
