Head trauma is a common cause of consultation in children, particularly mild and moderate trauma. Injuries from head trauma vary depending on multiple factors (patient age, mechanism of injury, area of ​​injury). These include craniofacial fractures, intracranial hematomas, and cerebral edema, among others. Neuroimaging is essential to determine craniocerebral involvement and establish the best treatment.

Please note the following warning guidelines for immediate consultation with a health center:

• Loss of consciousness.
• If cranial depression or crepitations are palpable
• Cranial lacerations
• Patients under two years of age
• Trauma to risk areas: the nape of the neck or above the ear
• Clinical features: vomiting, sleepiness, headache, seizures, weakness in limbs, visual disturbance, cephalohematoma
