ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los pediatras estamos muy concienciados sobre nuestro papel en el diagnóstico del maltrato, ya que si éste no se diagnostica y denuncia a tiempo, puede traer graves consecuencias en los niños, tanto físicas como psíquicas. Sin embargo, como médicos, también podemos incurrir en diagnósticos erróneos de maltrato, con la importancia que esta falsa afirmación supone desde el punto de vista legal y familiar. Material y métodos: Revisamos las historias de cuatro pacientes con patologías diversas que fueron diagnosticados inicialmente de maltrato. En todos ellos se encontró una causa médica que explicaba sus patologías y descartaba nuestra hipótesis inicial de maltrato. Conclusiones: Como pediatras, debemos estar alerta sobre los signos y síntomas que pueden hacernos pensar en maltrato. Sin embargo, también debemos conocer las patologías que pueden parecer efectos de un maltrato, y siempre debemos pensar en los posibles diagnósticos diferenciales cuando se nos plantea un posible caso de maltrato (AU)


Backgrounds: Paediatricians are concerned about our role in diagnosis of child abuse, due to the terrible consequences, both physical and psychological, that children can suffer if it’s not diagnosed and reported on time. However, as doctors, we can fall into misdiagnosis, with the importance of this wrong statement means legally and in their families. Material and methods: We have reviewed four medical records with different diseases. All of them were initially diagnosed of child abuse, but in all we found a medical cause that explained their diseases and child abuse could be ruled out. Conclusions: As paediatricians, we must be alert about signs and symptoms that might make us think about child abuse. However, we also must know diseases that can simulate child abuse and we must consider an alternative diagnoses always than we were thinking about the possibility of physical or sexual child abuse (AU)
