  • Title: [A toddler with traumatic brain injury].
    Author: Fiolet AT, Hellinga I, Han KS.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2013; 157(9):A4059. PubMed ID: 23446151.
    Abstract:
    A 14-month-old boy presented with a haematoma and an oedematous swelling in the left parieto-occipital region after sustaining a fall from 3 meters. CT images of the brain showed a multifragmentary fracture in the parietotemporal region. Because the swelling progressed during admission, an MRI of the brain was performed, which revealed extrusion of brain tissue through a skull defect into the subgaleal space. Resultantly, the diagnosis of 'cranial burst fracture' was established. After neurosurgical resection and dural repair, the boy was discharged from the hospital without neurological symptoms.
