This article describes typical head injuries in infants and children. In comparison with adults there are distinct differences in the etiology of trauma and in the kind of reaction of the skull and brain. In infants and children there are three different types of trauma: birth trauma, accidental and non-accidental injury. The typical injuries in these three groups are described.
We report the case of a 47-year-old man who experienced a pulmonary embolism associated with a femoral thrombus after a traumatic intracranial haematoma and had caval interruption using a new generation endovascular percutaneous filter. A shock occurred soon after the procedure, associated with inferior cava system inflation related to a filter thrombosis. This is a rare complication since the cessation of surgical cava interruptions. The situation became stable after intensive volume expansion. This report underlines the risk of complication associated to vena cava interruption despite the use of new generation filters and the significance of mechanical measures in prevention of thrombosis when anticoagulants are contraindicated.
