Background: Motor vehicle collision (MVC) remains a leading cause of injury and death among children, but the proper use of child safety seats and restraints has lowered the risks associated with motor vehicle travel. Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is rare but significant among children involved in MVC. This study reviewed the incidence of BCVI after MVC causing blunt injury to the head, face, or neck, comparing those that were properly restrained with those that were not.

Article Synopsis
- Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is a rare but serious condition in children, with various screening criteria developed for adults and some validated for pediatric use.
- A study analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of five screening criteria in a prospective, multi-institutional setting, involving 2,284 children under 15 who had experienced blunt trauma.
- The Memphis criteria showed the highest sensitivity for detecting BCVI at 91.7%, while the Utah score had the highest specificity at 95.8%, highlighting differences in effectiveness among the screening tools.
