Head Injury in Children

Good news so far. Keep going.

  • falling from a high place (for example, a window or roof)

  • hitting something with great force (for example, hit by a baseball bat)

  • hitting something at high speed (for example, a car accident or skiing).

Yes, the injury happened this way.

No, the injury did not happen this way.
