Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Abusive head trauma (AHT) is the most deadly form of physical abuse but can be easy to miss because the neurologic examination can be difficult in young infants, who are at highest risk. A low threshold for neuroimaging (CT or MRI) should be used for infants who present with bruising, vomiting without fever or diarrhea, fussiness or lethargy, or transient loss of consciousness (apparent life-threatening event [ALTE] and brief, resolved, unexplained event [BRUE]), especially those with increased head circumference or anemia.
