Pediatric head trauma is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children and may be seen in the setting of accidental or abusive injuries. Although many of the patterns of head injury are similar to adults, the imaging manifestations of head injury in children are more complex due to the developing brain and calvarium. Additionally, there are unique considerations for mechanisms of injury in children, to include abusive head trauma and birth-related injuries. The primary role of the radiologist is to identify and characterize the type and severity of head injury to help guide appropriate patient management.
