N2  - Case study On 1 August 2007, a 17 month old child was seen by a paediatrician at St Ann's Hospital, London. The presenting problems were listed as aggressive behaviour, including biting and hitting other people, easy bruising and a fungal scalp infection. The paediatrician noted three bruises on the left side of the child's face and 10-15 bruises on his back. The paediatrician provided a referral for investigation of possible metabolic disease and discharged the patient home with his mother. Two days later the patient was dead. A postmortem examination revealed multiple injuries, including eight fractured ribs, an area of bleeding around the spine at the cervical level and numerous bruises, cuts and abrasions.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
