Child abuse causes serious physical and emotional injury. Those abused, however, are usually unable or unwilling to gain access to agencies that might help them. The otolaryngologist, while usually not the patient's primary physician, may be in the position to detect child abuse. We describe a 3-year-old boy who sustained auricular trauma as the result of child abuse. The importance of physician recognition of an abuse case and the institution of appropriate measures are discussed.
虐待儿童会导致严重的身体和情感伤害。然而，那些受虐待的儿童通常无法或不愿意求助于可能帮助他们的机构。耳鼻喉科医生虽然通常不是患者的首诊医生，但可能有机会发现虐待儿童的情况。我们描述了一名3岁男孩，他因遭受虐待而导致耳部创伤。本文讨论了医生识别虐待病例的重要性以及采取适当措施的必要性。
