Abstract

Trauma is the most common cause of death in childhood and non-accidental injury is the leading cause of death in infants between one month and one year of life. This is a newly emerging entity in Saudi Arabia. However, there is little available literature on the extent of child maltreatment in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. In this review, we will discuss various aspects of the central nervous system insults resulting from the inflicted trauma of child abuse. We aim to raise awareness in the region as the tragic loss of life and function is unequalled in childhood beyond the perinatal period.
