Late neurologic and cognitive sequelae of inflicted traumatic brain injury in infancy.
OBJECTIVE There is limited information regarding the long-term outcome of inflicted traumatic brain injury (TBI), including shaken infant syndrome. The purpose of this study was to describe the long-term neurologic, behavioral, and cognitive sequelae seen in this population. METHODS A cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal study was conducted of 25 children with inflicted TBI in Scotlan...
متن کاملInflicted head injury in infants.
There is scant neuropathological information in the child abuse literature; even the best reviews include assumptions based on the findings of a few inadequate early studies. Our recent series of 53 fatal cases (Brain 124 (2001) 1290, 1299 [1,2]) demonstrated age-related patterns of brain injury and showed the substrate of severe encephalopathy in the infants to be hypoxic brain damage, not dif...
متن کاملNeuropathology of inflicted head injury in children. II. Microscopic brain injury in infants.
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 کاملEvaluating the epidemiology of inflicted traumatic brain injury in infants of U.S. military families.
BACKGROUND Evaluating the incidence of inflicted traumatic brain injuries (inflicted TBI) in young children, and encompassing shaken baby syndrome (SBS) and related injuries, is an epidemiologic challenge. Data available regarding military families in the U.S. may complement other national surveillance efforts. METHODS A protocol was developed to assess the epidemiology of inflicted TBI among...
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...
