Neurotrauma remains a major global burden of injury, especially for young patients, and will consequently always be a condition that pediatric neurosurgeons are called upon to treat. However, the face of modern neurotrauma management is changing, presenting important challenges to today’s pediatric neurosurgeons.
Objective
This article summarizes some of the issues in neurotrauma facing clinicians whose responsibility it is to treat these children.
Conclusion
It is up to the individual neurosurgeon to familiarize him- or herself with the emerging literature on the modern management of pediatric neurotrauma.
