ABSTRACT

Authors present a seven years retrospective study on 85 cases of severe brain injuries (SBI) in children (GCS /= 20 mmHg, the Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) on MRI and the GCS on admission are factors of prognosis in SBI in children. The politrauma context is an aggravating factor for SBI in this age group. Other factors which influence GCS on admission may have prognostic importance i.e.: prehospital care, transport time and adequate transport conditions.
