    Minor head injury in pediatrics
    (2010-10-29) Nerva, John
    Evaluation for intracranial injury (ICI) following minor head trauma (HT) is based on risk stratification in children younger than 2-years-old. Children in the high-risk group should undergo computed tomography (CT) scanning. Intermediate-risk children with symptoms of possible ICI should undergo CT scan or a period of observation. Children with intermediate-risk of skull fracture or ICI should undergo CT scan and/or skull radiographs (SR) or observation. Finally, children at low-risk for ICI should not have radiographic imaging.
