AB  - The  most  common  cause  of  head  injury  in  children  is  falls.  More  severe  injuries  are  caused  by  motor  vehicle  collisions,  bicycle  crashes,  and  assaults,  including  child  abuse.Children  with  severe  injuries,  including  those  with  altered  mental  status,  focal  neurologic  deficits,  or  penetrating  injuries,  should  undergo  emergent  computed  tomography  (CT)  of  the  head  and  prompt  neurosurgical  consultation.Prevention  of  hypoxia,  ischemia,  and  increased  intracranial  pressure  is  essential  for  children  with  severe  head  injuries.
