Pediatric skull fractures and intracranial injuries.
Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine 2017 September
The determination of plausibility of an injury arising from a fall leading to head trauma is a great challenge especially in young children. The present review is aimed to discuss important developments in the filed of head trauma cases especially in children. We explored various studies pertaining to head trauma injuries in children by exploring mainly PubMed, Google scholar and some library periodicals available in our library. Studies in the recent past explored the head injuries as a result of a low height fall. However, there are great amount of difficulties in assessment of height with certainty that caused head injuries like skull fracture or intracranial injury. Biomechanical thresholds have been estimated for young children for injuries such as skull fracture, but they have not been assessed against the injuries observed in a clinical setting. So, this review discusses current aspects of pediatric head injuries ranging from a minor head injury to a skull fracture. The present review concludes that recording full details of cause of head trauma such as fall height is essential for proper treatment planning and efficient management.
