Pediatric Neurological Trauma

Pediatric neurological trauma refers to injuries affecting the brain and nervous system in children, often resulting from accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Such trauma can lead to various issues, including brain swelling, concussions, or damage to specific brain areas. Symptoms may include confusion, headaches, difficulty with movement, or changes in behavior. Because children's brains are still developing, they may respond differently to injuries than adults do. Prompt medical attention is crucial to assess the severity and initiate appropriate treatment to support recovery and minimize long-term effects.
