[Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy as a special form of head injury complication in battered child syndrome].
[child syndrome]
The
battered
child
syndrome
is
increasingly
more
often
described
in
literature
.
Head
injuries
experienced
by
battered
children
are
the
main
cause
of
deaths
and
neurological
complications
.
A
special
form
of
damage
inflicted
in
battered
children
is
vessel
background
brain
injury
.
The
objective
of
the
article
was
to
characterize
central
nervous
system
injuries
and
their
results
in
children
who
were
victims
of
physical
violence
.
Medical
records
of
three
patients
hospitalized
in
Department
of
Neurology
of
the
Polish
Mother
Health
Center
Institute
in
Lodz
,
in
whom
the
battered
child
syndrome
had
been
diagnosed
,
were
analyzed
.
The
authors
discussed
three
cases
of
children
with
central
nervous
system
injuries
caused
by
physical
violence
.
All
the
children
were
treated
pharmacologically
,
placed
on
parenteral
nutrition
and
rehabilitated
.
Among
typical
central
nervous
system
injuries
caused
by
head
trauma
,
particular
attention
of
the
authors
was
focused
on
hypoxic-ischemic
encephalopathy
,
a
complication
of
a
still
unclear
etiology
that
occurred
in
two
cases
.
Battered
children
are
usually
treated
in
surgical
departments
and
the
causes
of
injuries
are
not
always
correctly
diagnosed
.
Brain
damage
is
the
reason
for
permanent
neurological
consequences
in
children
who
experienced
physical
violence
.
In
medico-legal
practice
,
it
is
essential
to
describe
precisely
all
the
visible
injuries
(
bruises
,
abrasions
,
wounds
)
especially
during
the
initial
medical
examination
.
