title: [Multiple injuries in children].
abstract: Multiple injuries do not occur very often in children, but are important because children's general reaction to trauma is different from that of adults. This is due to the anatomic and physiological differences between children and adults, and because some injuries in children differ considerably from similar injuries in adults. It is important to know these facts, even if the methods used for resuscitation and immediate follow-up are much the same in children as in adults. A special type of injury that is seen with increasing frequency comprises the bizarre injuries caused by child abuse.
