Summary

Diagnosing epidural hematoma (EDH) in infants is challenging. A new Trauma Infant Neurologic Score, incorporating lateralizing signs and scalp injuries, is proposed for better assessment of infant neurotrauma.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric neurosurgery
  • Trauma care

Background:

  • Epidural hematoma (EDH) in infants presents unique diagnostic challenges compared to older children.
  • Clinical presentation and injury mechanisms differ significantly in infants.
  • Optimal prognostic tools and computed tomography (CT) guidelines for infant EDH are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize clinical and radiologic parameters of EDH in infants.
  • To correlate these parameters with patient outcomes.
  • To propose a novel neurotrauma scoring system for infants.

Main Methods:

  • Eleven infants under 2 years old diagnosed with EDH and surgically treated were studied.
  • Children's Glasgow Coma Scale (CCS) was applied for neurological assessment.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed using computed tomography (CT).

Main Results:

  • The average age of infants was 13 months; 63.6% fell from under 1 meter.
  • Admission CCS scores averaged 10.7, with 45% unconscious and 18.2% having a perfect score.
  • Lateralizing signs were present in 5 infants, pupillary abnormalities in 2, and subgaleal hematomas in 72.7%.

Conclusions:

  • A new Trauma Infant Neurologic Score is suggested for managing EDH in infants.
  • Objective parameters such as lateralizing signs, pupillary abnormalities, trauma mechanism, and scalp injuries should be included in the score.
