Abstract

The worldwide incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is extremely high. In the structure of TBI, children's traumatism has a significant weight[]. Significant progress in the reconstructive and restorative treatment of children with TBI is possible only on the basis of CT and MRI imaging []. The purpose of the article present in certain aspects unique clinical cases of CT and MRI imaging of TBI in children aged 13 months to 11 years in an infographic format. 4 clinical observations are presented as part of CT and MRI images: skull fracture, penetrating wounds of the scalp due to dog bites; depressed fracture of the frontal bone with the transition to the upper walls of the orbits, diastasis of the seams; depressed fracture of the frontal bone with a hemorrhagic bruise of the left frontal lobe due to a fall from a bicycle; high-energy TBI (fall from the 7th floor), multiple fractures of the extremities, fracture of the lower jaw, fat emboli of cerebral vessels.
