Clinical and sociodemographic features of patients with pediatrichead injury with linear fracture registering to the emergencydepartment

Childhood head trauma is the third leading cause of childhood mortality and morbidity. finds place. The mortality rate is 5 times higher than leukemia and 18 times higher than brain tumors. Male It is seen twice as often in children. The most common causes of trauma are falls and motor vehicles. are accidents. In newborns, birth trauma, hypoxia, and germinal matrix bleeding predominate, 3- Falling in 6-month-old infant (75%), car accident (11%), child neglect and abuse, more than 10 years Then car and bicycle accidents are in the first place. Headache, especially in childhood The factors that develop due to some factors in trauma differ from adults. This Among the factors, brain and protective system maturation, neural developmental stage, age group, gray ore, white matter and calvarium structure. Neuronal cell count, adult at birth Dendritic enlargement and astrocyte network maturation in the second year, although in similar numbers as is being completed. Gray matter develops rapidly in the first two years, while white matter is relatively develops slowly. While the cells in the brain structure lose water rapidly in the first 2 years, myelination occurs rapidly in a year. The calvarium structure of newborn babies is in the form of a single layer. sutures It starts to close rapidly after birth, making the skull rigid and closed at the end of the 4th year. As a result, the unmyelinated neuron may be compressed or the soft calvarium may be traumatic. can diffuse the effect. That is, mass lesion formation will decrease, but tearing and tearing in the white matter will occur. cerebral edema will be encountered more frequently. Sutures open, calvarium soft and brain tissue is smaller, the subarachnoid space is wider, and the child is larger than the adult. It allows it to tolerate extradural fluid collection . Skull fractures according to their formation and location: Linear fracture, Compression fracture, Complex crush fractures. As compound-severe fractures, Frontal sinus fractures, Skull base fractures classified. We will describe the linear fracture from these fractures. Linear Fractures: It is the most common type of fracture, and this is the case in one third of the cases. Generally It is in the parietal region, and most of the cases are accompanied by cephal hematoma or subgaleal. to the amount of bleeding The resulting tension can cause pain. Rarely (newborn, infant and those with coagulopathy) In children) severe bleeding may be at a level that requires a blood transfusion. traumatic brain cases that do not cause trauma do not have a surgical indication; not requiring specific treatment It shows rapid, uncomplicated and complete recovery.
