[Battered child syndrome mimicking acute appendicitis].
[child syndrome]
The
paper
presents
the
case
of
a
15
-
year
-old
child
suffering
from
battered
child
syndrome
,
who
was
operated
on
with
the
presumed
diagnosis
of
acute
appendicitis
.
On
the
course
of
the
operation
the
injury
and
hematoma
of
the
mesentery
of
the
small
bowel
was
discovered
,
along
with
retroperitoneal
hematoma
and
blood
in
the
abdominal
cavity
.
Consecutive
investigation
revealed
a
child
abuse
lasting
for
at
least
3
years
.
Lessons
of
the
case
were
the
misleading
symptoms
of
the
serious
intraabdominal
injuries
,
caused
by
life-threatening
maltreatment
of
the
child
,
which
eventually
led
to
the
false
diagnosis
of
appendicitis
.
The
case
has
a
moral
message
towards
society
as
well
:
we
need
to
pay
attention
on
the
surrounding
world
and
act
against
aggression
.
