Spectrum of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Acute Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury - A Pictorial Essay.

Head trauma (HT) in pediatric patients is the number one cause of mortality and morbidity in children. Although computer tomography (CT) imaging provides ample information in assessing acute traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), there are instances when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is needed.
