N2  - Annually, approximately 100 000 children under the age of 15 years suffer traumatic head injury severe enough to be hospitalized.1 Advances in medical technology and trauma care are enabling more children to survive previously fatal head injuries. Therefore, pediatricians will be called on increasingly to treat and give advice regarding children who have survived traumatic head injuries.Recently, professionals who treat children with head injuries have recommended that pediatricians become involved in the long-term follow-up of children with head injuries,2 even when the injuries are only mild to moderate.3 This is an important recommendation because the majority of head injuries are classified as mild.4This request for the careful monitoring of children with head injuries stems from recent evidence that even mild injuries may result in long-term physical sequelae, such as seizures5 and motor impairments,6 as well as psychosocial and cognitive consequences.7 Research
