Understanding the pathophysiology of paediatric head trauma is essential for rational acute
management. It has been proposed that the response to severe head injury in children
differs from that in adults, with increased cerebral blood flow (cerebral hyperaemia)
representing the most common cause of raised intracranial pressure, but this has recently
been disputed. The relation between the pathophysiological response and time after injury
has not been defined in children. This paper describes 151 serial measurements of cerebral …
