Childhood Head Injuries, Accidental or Inflicted?
Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 154:11-15, Reece,R.M.&Sege,R., 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A substantial percentage of head injuries requiring hospitalization in children younger than 6.5 years are attributable to inflicted injury. Subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhages, and associated cutaneous, skeleta l, and visceral injuries are significantly more common in inflicted head injury than in accidental injury.
