Description
We present a case of a newborn male with seizures who on subsequent radiographs was shown to have bilateral acromial fractures. These are uncommon fractures and are described in association with nonaccidental injury (NAI). However, in this case NAI was thought unlikely due to continuous hospitalisation of the boy. The possible aetiologies are discussed.
