Abstract

This presentation focused on a hyperactive child admitted to the emergency department because of ataxia and imbalance. It was later discovered that the child had been abused by his mother. In cases where there is conflict between the clinical findings, the patient and the family's history in a clinical state which cannot be explained satisfactorily by the medical staff, the need for taking the history again from other relatives whilst taking into account the parents' physiological well-being, is time well spent.
