| description | Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and its complications are a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, disability and socioeconomic losses in India and other developing countries. Especially in children it poses a significant global public healthcare concern from the time of insult until many years later when long-term sequelae may manifest. The rapid surge in urbanization, motorization and lifestyle changes are leading to an increased risk for TBI. The exact statistics from India is not available. It is the prevention of worsening of the secondary injury that is often targeted during the medical management. Due to the fact that pediatric brain is still developing and has not completely matured, proper understanding is required for adequate management of pediatric patients with TBI. |
