Abstract
A series of 100 patients 19 years of age or younger is presented. Age, mechanism of injury, Glasgow coma score (GCS), diagnosis, outcome, and other factors arc analysed. Ninety-four per cent of the patients had ICP monitoring, 68% had a good or moderately disabled outcome; that is, they were functioning. There was a 24% mortality. There was a 25% incidence of mass lesion and these patients did worse. The major cause of death was neurologic injury.Keywords
