✦ Synopsis

The morphology of the renal papillae was studied in a series of necropsy kidneys from infants and young children, and related to experimental data obtained in piglets. As in the piglet, extensively fused papillae of the type associated with intrarenal reflux occurred almost exclusively at the upper and lower poles of the kidney. However, the incidence of this kind of papilla was much lower in the children's kidneys, and in over a quarter of the specimens examined only cone-shaped papillae were found; this latter type of papilla is never associated with intrarenal reflux in the piglet.

Intrarenal reflux in piglets has been related to the morphology of individual renal papillae. These studies show that intrarenal reflux occurs only in the presence of the more extensively fused papillae found predominantly at the upper and lower poles of the kidney. These papillae each have a flatte

Abusive head injuries are among the most common causes of serious and lethal injuries in children. These injuries may result from impact or shaking or a combination of these mechanisms. These mechanisms cause the child's head to undergo acceleration-deceleration movements which may create inertial m
