Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Neurotrauma remains a major global burden of injury, especially for young patients, and will consequently always be a condition that pediatric neurosurgeons are called upon to treat. However, the face of modern neurotrauma management is changing, presenting important challenges to today's pediatric neurosurgeons. OBJECTIVE: This article summarizes some of the issues in neurotrauma facing clinicians whose responsibility it is to treat these children. CONCLUSION: It is up to the individual neurosurgeon to familiarize him- or herself with the emerging literature on the modern management of pediatric neurotrauma.
