Abstract
Trauma is the reason for 40-60% of emergency callouts concerning children. Approximately half of the children have head injuries. As for adults early recognition of findings indicating an intervention are decisive for the prognosis. In children head injury can be divided into three categories: birth trauma, accidental and non-accidental trauma. This article concentrates on accidental trauma with respect to characteristics of causes, epidemiology, mechanisms of accidents and illustrated morphological findings.
