Primary Objective: This review aimed to identify main findings and critically evaluate literature that considered sibling outcomes following paediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained by a brother or sister.
Methods: Qualitative and quantitative papers on the topic of TBI from PubMed and PsychINFO were reviewed. Identified literature was manually cross-referenced and all papers that identified siblings as the main subject of research or as secondary to research aims were included. Exploration of results and evaluation of studies that centred on sibling emotional/behavioural response, sibling relationship changes, subjective lived experience post-injury and factors predictive of sibling outcomes was the modus operandi for analysis of identified literature.
Main Results: This review suggests that siblings of children who sustained severe TBI and have residual behavioural difficulties are at an increased risk of adverse psychological outcome. Moreover, they may experience many qualitative changes in their life. The generalization and interpretation of the findings, however, is limited by many methodological shortcomings, especially lack of prospective longitudinal design and measures of pre-morbid functioning.
Conclusions: Theoretically driven, prospective, longitudinal research into sibling outcome following child TBI is a priority.

Introduction And Importance: Grisel syndrome (GS) is a rare but potentially lethal condition characterized by non-traumatic atlantoaxial subluxation primarily affecting pediatric population following inflammatory condition of head and neck. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is crucial for better management of symptoms and better outcomes.
Case Presentation: 7-years-old child present with torticollis, sudden onset progressive neck pain, restricted range of motion and bilateral lymphadenopathy after upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).

Individuals often actively suppress intrusive memories to alleviate the distress they cause and maintain mental well-being. However, those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often exhibit difficulties particularly in inhibiting or suppressing negative memories compared to individuals without PTSD. These memories can involve a physical threat either to the individual themselves or to others.

Introduction: Repairing damaged cartilage poses significant challenges, particularly in cases of congenital cartilage defects such as microtia or congenital tracheal stenosis, or as a consequence of traumatic injury, as the regenerative potential of cartilage is inherently limited. Stem cell therapy and tissue engineering offer promising approaches to overcome these limitations in cartilage healing. However, the challenge lies in the size of cartilage-containing organs, which necessitates a large quantity of cells to fill the damaged areas.

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a common cause of irreversible blindness following head injury. TON is characterized by axon damage in the optic nerve followed by retinal ganglion cell death in the days and weeks following injury. At present, no therapeutic or surgical approach has been found to offer any benefit beyond observation alone.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can lead to lasting adverse outcomes, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). This study examined whether PTSD and PTSS can occur even after mTBI and tracked the evolution of PTSD in the long term. A total of 85 youth post-mTBI (median age: 10.
