There are very few reports in the literature dealing with the neuropathology of infant head injury, and the question of whether diffuse traumatic brain damage [diffuse axonal injury (DAI)] occurs in such children has not yet been reliably established by detailed neuropathological studies. We report the findings in the brains of a series of 37 infants aged 9 months or less, all of whom died from...

متن کاملPrediction of inflicted brain injury in infants and children using retinal imaging.
BACKGROUND Retinal hemorrhages (RHs) occur in inflicted traumatic brain injury (ITBI), accidental traumatic brain injury (ATBI), and some medical conditions, although the reported number, distribution, type, and frequency vary greatly between these different etiologies. We hypothesize that these RH characteristics reliably help to distinguish ITBI from ATBI and nontraumatic etiologies. METHOD...
متن کاملNeuropathology of inflicted head injury in children. I. Patterns of brain damage.
Fifty-three cases of non-accidental head injury in children were subjected to detailed neuropathological study, which included immunocytochemistry for microscopic damage. Clinical details were available for all the cases. There were 37 infants, age at head injury ranging from 20 days to 9 months, and 16 children (range 13 months to 8 years). The most common injuries were skull fractures (36% of...
