Traumatic brain injury in infants and little children (a literature review)

Abstract

One of the acute problems of emergency neurosurgery is craniocerebral injury in children. Acuteness of the problem is determined by the disease frequency, high percentage of disability and mortality. Issues of medical and social research, diagnostics and treatment of craniocerebral trauma have not lost their relevance. Preventive measures, such as improved parental control and increased safety in the home surrounding, are being developed. Domestic and foreign literature sources on craniocerebral trauma in infants and young children for the last 15 years have been analysed . The search was done using keywords: “craniocerebral trauma”, “skull fractures” in such search engines as Google Scholar, eLibrary, PubMed and Medline. 243 sources were analysed, from which 45 articles were selected (21 domestic publications). These papers focused on specific aspects of traumatic brain injury in patients of different age categories. Infants and young children represent a specific group of traumatic brain injury victims due to specific anatomic and physiologic features. Better understanding of injury nature in infants and young children is necessary in order to improve traumatic brain injury prevention, diagnostics and treatment.
