Résumé
Significant reduction in hemorrhage (10 v/s 13), necrosis (2 v/s 4), cavitations (7 v/s 13), neuronal degeneration, perivascular and parenchymal inflammatory infiltrate (7 v/s 11) were observed in Vitamin E treated cold induced head injury in guinea pigs, evaluated post injury using the modified Benderson's scale. The results suggest that Vitamin E is highly effective in promoting clinical and histopathological recovery in cold induced head injury in guinea pigs.

Traumatic brain injury following birth is common in newborn but significant intracranial haematoma following birth injury is not that usual. Even busy pediatric trauma center have about only 1 to 3 % of admission that require neurosurgical care. Extradural haematoma (EDH) associated with intracerebral and subdural haematoma (SDH) is even more rare in newborn. If this is not detected and treated in time, the outcome may be fatal. A case of EDH with subdural and intracerebral haematoma in a 3 days old neonate is presented. Etiology and problems in diagnosis and management are discussed.
