Medicolegal evaluation of pediatric patients with injection neuropathy
Intramuscular injections, especially in pediatric patients, should not be considered routine procedures. Given the potential for severe complications, oral alternatives should be prioritized. When unavoidable, injections must be performed by qualified professionals considering patient age, muscle mass, and anatomical safety. This study underscores the medicolegal importance of accurate technique and documentation to prevent lifelong disability and litigation.
