Linear skull fracture in infants after mild traumatic brain injury: influence of computed tomography in management.

CONCLUSION: Systematic CT studies do not seem justified for all children aged <2 years with TBI and low/intermediate risk of intracranial lesions, even when they have linear skull fractures. In the absence of risk factors, we propose individualizing the imaging study based on clinical criteria. PMID: 32493652 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
