AbstractA six-week-old infant presented with rib trauma and a lung contusion from a nonaccidental compressive chest injury. He developed an illness consistent with diffuse alveolar damage, which worsened over 26 hours. This was complicated by a pneumomediastinum, and the patient recovered with conservative management. The value of isotope bone scanning in addition to x-rays is discussed. Nonaccidental injury should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pulmonary contusion.
