Clinical Factors Associated with Intracranial Complications after Pediatric Traumatic Head Injury: An Observational Study of Children Submitted to a Neurosurgical Referral Unit

Abstract

Children with minimal head injuries (according to HISS) may develop intracranial complications and may even require neurosurgical intervention. Hence, the HISS classification, as well as other risk classifications based upon unconsciousness and amnesia, are unreliable in children.
