  2. “Is the CT Scan important at the 24 Hours in Children with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury? International Multicentre Study” Authors:°Murgio A.,*MutluerS., **Fong D., #Hotz G., ^Di Rocco C., ^^Herrera EJ., ^^Viano JC. ºI.S.H.I.P. Group Argentina ,*Turkey; **China; #USA; ^Italy; ^^Argentina;

  3. Definition of Mild TBI • Traditionally: “as those with a history of acute injury, a GCS score of 13 to 15, and no focal neurologic deficits”... • “May or may not associated with a brief LOC that lasts a few seconds to no longer than 30 minutes”...(HIISIGroup) • No abnormal Imaging findings and no focal neurologic findings are present on initial clinical evaluation... • Neurologically intact with a GCS of 13 to 15... • Confusion with Amnesia for the event of trauma, include amnesia for events immediately before or after the accident (time: minutes to a few hours not more than 24 hs).Dec.1998

  4. Objectives Theprincipalideaofthisstudy was to evaluate–usinganinternationaland multicentrepopulation- therelationships betweenseverity of injury, risk factor andimagingfindingsbyattending physicians.

  25. a-Conclusion • Advantage of the multicentre study is that allows us a glimpse of practice in varied setting and makes it possible to compare these experiences with our own; • We suggest that some of the beliefs that govern us in decision-making need review, i.e. “older and familiar technologies” (X-rays) to determine the need for a more complex evaluation, including CT;

  26. b-Conclusion • The physical and neurological examination are inadequate “predictors” of ICI; • The CT Scan is “more sensitive”; • Liberal use of CT scans in children under 6 years of age and younger with TBI is because they “may present without symptoms”;

  27. c-Conclusion • Until more definitive information is available, clinicians should be liberal in their use of CT so that early identification of significant ICI can be obtained and appropriate management of the injuries initiated.

  28. International Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery : I.S.P.N. • “The critical issue will be to have guidelines that, when used would identify all patients who need surgery, with as few negative scans to achieve this.” • “Should we now try to use the data to create guidelines and then validate them…”

  31. d-Conclusion • We think that is necessary to make an accurate evaluation of each patient with Mild TBI under 12 years of age and considerer order a CT scan into 24 hours to identify ICI and guarantee a good out come .
