Abstract

Emergency services are one of the priority places where child abuse cases could be detected. Medical history, physical examination and sampling for obtaining biological material are the most important steps in the determination of these cases. Among the physical examination findings, identifying shaped findings, such as bite marks especially may be diagnostic for child abuse. Bite marks seen as an attack wound or as a defense wound could have an evidential value in suspected cases. Therefore, in order to evaluate bite marks accurately, to ask for a help from a forensic dentist or an expert trained in this regard should be kept in mind. In this review, it was aimed to emphasize the characteristics of bite marks as a finding that could be seen in physical and sexual abuse cases and to highlight elements that should be considered in the diagnosis of abuse and, especially to draw the attention of physicians and allied health staffs who work in emergency services that have intense working conditions.

Özet

Çocuk istismarı olgularının tespit edilebileceği öncelikli yerler arasında acil servisler gelmektedir. Bu olguların tespitinde anamnez, fizik muayene ve biyolojik materyal elde etmek için örnek alma en önemli basamaklardır. Fizik muayene bulguları içinde özellikle ısırık izi gibi şekilli bulguları tanımak çocuk istismarı için tanı koydurucu olabilmektedir. Saldırı ya da savunma yarası olarak da karşımıza çıkabilen ısırık izleri, şüpheli olgularda delil niteliği taşıyabilmektedir. Bu nedenle, ısırık izlerinin daha doğru bir şekilde değerlendirilebilmesi için olanaklar dahilinde bir adli diş hekiminden ya da bu konuda eğitim almış bir uzmandan yardım istenmesi akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu derlemede, fiziksel ve cinsel istismar olgularında görülebilecek bir bulgu olan ısırık izlerinin özellikleri ile istismar tanısı konulurken dikkat edilmesi gereken unsurları vurgulamak ve özellikle yoğun çalışma koşullarına sahip acil servislerdeki hekim ve yardımcı sağlık personelinin bu konuya dikkatini çekmek amaçlandı.
