abstract="In children, minor head trauma is a common injury that can result in intra cranial injury. The 6th &quot;Conférence de consensus en réanimation et médecine d'urgence&quot; in 1990, then the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1999, published clear guidelines for management of head injured children older than 2 years, specially regarding X-ray imaging, while currently no clear guidelines exist regarding children younger than 2 years. Being at higher risk for injuries and more difficult to assess, many authors recommend for these young children a low threshold for X-ray imaging. However we believe that many asymptomatic infants older than 3 months of age who have no significant scalp hematoma, no high force mechanism of injury, and no suspicion of child abuse, can be safely managed without X-ray imaging.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
