Strangulation has been postulated as one cause of cerebral hypoxia in child abuse. This report describes the finding of necklace calcification in an infant with rib fractures and a metaphyseal fracture and an admission of a shaking injury. The calcification is likely to represent fat necrosis as the result of strangulation.
