Abstract

Child maltreatment, in it's different forms (physical, negligence, Münchausen syndrome by proxy, sexual abuses.), represents an important morbidity cause, especially in the first years of the life. Nowadays, the battered child syndrome includes forms of abuse and different degrees of negligence (moderate, serious and light) in which the physical abuse could be absent. Determination of the forms of abuse, their diagnosis, intervention and prevention, corresponds to multidisciplinary teams, in which the pediatrician has a crucial role.
