    In a baby aged 8 months the forensic post-mortem revealed injuries to the parasagittal pontine veins without visible evidence of traumatic violence. The mother later admitted to having grabbed the baby laterally by the chest and shaken it. This had resulted in an angular acceleration of the head about a transversal axis and, by the lag of the brain due to its inertia, in the fatal vascular lesions mentioned. The twin child admitted to hospital with comparable signs rapidly developed via an acute hygroma a generalized cerebral atrophy such as is actually to be expected in senescence only.

    Teratogenicity

    The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

    Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

    DefinitionTraumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disturbance of normal brain function induced by an external mechanical force, such as a direct blow to the head or a penetrating injury. It can affect both brain structure and function, producing a wide range of clinical outcomes. TBI is a heterogeneous condition, meaning its effects may differ based on the type, location, and severity of the injury.Basis of ClassificationTBI is classified based on severity, injury mechanism, or pathophysiology.
