  • Title: Extensive brain injury in a premature infant following a relatively minor maternal motor vehicle accident with airbag deployment.
    Author: Karimi P, Ramus R, Urban J, Perlman JM.
    Journal: J Perinatol; 2004 Jul; 24(7):454-7. PubMed ID: 15224120.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic injury following a motor vehicle accident during pregnancy has an enormous potential for fetal injury and demise. With the advent of seat belts, shoulder restraints and airbags, and improved maternal survival, the most common cause of fetal loss is placental injury. However, the safety of airbag deployment during pregnancy and in particular during the latter stages, and the potential for fetal trauma remains unclear. We report a case of extensive neurological injury of a premature infant with minimal maternal trauma associated with deployment of an airbag following a minor motor vehicle accident.
