RESUMEN
La motivación de este trabajo es la preponderancia de conocer el estado en que nos encontramos con respecto al peor resultado posible de la violencia infantil en Costa Rica (muerte) con el fin de facilitar el trabajo de creación de políticas de salud que protejan a una población con la garantía constitucional de dicha protección. Obtuvimos que la incidencia costarricense de muerte violenta en menores de 18 años durante el año 2010 fue de 12.31 por cada 100 mil habitantes menores de edad y de 3.72 por cada 100 mil habitantes del país. Además es destacable que se encontró una incidencia elevada en los extremos etarios (0-1 y 16-17), en varones, a principio de año, causado por asfixia o accidente de tránsito y en la provincia de San José.
