PROGNOSIS IN CRANIAL TRAUMATISM

Cranial hemihypertrophy and neurodevelopmental prognosis.

Three cases of congenital cranial hemihypertrophy are described. CT or ultrasound scans showed unilateral cerebral enlargement with dilatation of the ipsilateral ventricle. Seizures occurred in two patients and the neurodevelopmental outlook appears poor. These patients represent a poor prognosis subgroup of the congenital hemihypertrophies.

Prognosis of psychomotor and mental development in premature infants by early cranial ultrasound

BACKGROUND It is of high incidence of brain injuries in premature infants, so it is necessary to diagnose and treat the brain injury early for neonatal clinical practice. We are aimed to investigate the relationship between early postnatal cranial ultrasonography and psychomotor and mental development in prematrue infants at the age of 12 months. METHODS Two-hundred and eight premature infant...

Prognosis for children in cardiac arrest shortly after blunt cranial trauma.

BACKGROUND The goal of this investigation is to determine the success rate of aggressive cardiorespiratory resuscitation in children who experience blunt cranial trauma of sufficient magnitude to quickly cause cardiac arrest. METHODS The records of all the children who, within a 6-year period, suffered cardiac arrest at the scene of injury, during transport or in the emergency department of a...
