Q

A mother presents with her previously healthy 3 month old infant boy, stating that he has been Increasingly difficult to rouse for the past four hours and has lost interest in feeding; she left the baby alone with her boyfriend while she left the home to run errands. While en route to the hospital, the baby stop breathing. Physical examination is notable for occipital bruising. What is the most likely cause of this child apnoea?

A

Abusive head trauma

This is most common in 3 to 4 month old infants and presents early with non-specific symptoms (lethargy, irritability, poor feeding, vomiting) and later with seizures or apnoea.

There is generally no reported history of her trauma. Subdural haematoma and oedema account for most neurological findings. In babies with abusive head trauma, there is a 50 - 70% chance of prior abuse.
