TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Blunt trauma of the abdomen in children JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Fossum, R. M. A1 - Descheneaux, K. A. SP - 47 EP - 50 VL - 36 IS - 1 N2 - Abdominal trauma in children is usually due to motor vehicle accidents or falls, but child abuse is also a common cause. Injuries to the small intestine are particularly worrisome because symptoms may not appear for hours, days, or even weeks. This can cause significant difficulty for the investigator trying to determine when an injury occurred, or who may have caused it.
