Abstract

This survey was carried out on 706 cases chosen at random, of cranial traumatism following a fall in children under 4; it underlines the fact that in most cases there is a favourable evolution. However, complications may always occur, even in apparently slight accidents. A clinical examination, although difficult to carry out, reveals important information for the detection and treatment of complications, which are mainly intracranial collections which are not always immediately detectable; this entails a constant observation for at least one week. Complementary tests give information which must be interpreted according to clinical situation.
