TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Suspected non-accidental trauma in children: pseudofracture of the parietal bone JO - Journal de Radiologie A1 - Gomez, M-A A1 - Gaches, T. A1 - Besson, M. A1 - O'Byrne, P. A1 - Alison, D. SP - 393 EP - 395 VL - 87 IS - 4 Pt 1 N2 - We reported the case of a three month old child who was suspected of abuse syndrome because of a possible parietal bone fracture during radiographic investigation. At autopsy, the parietal bone abnormalities were not fractures, but proved to be unossified membranous strips. A review of the literature about normal variants of parietal suture on roentgenograms was made to avoid the diagnosis of non-accidental trauma in children, especially in live children where autopsy cannot be made.
