[Neurological sequels and follow-up of the child victim of non-accidental head trauma]

Abstract

Babies who suffer non-accidental head injuries systematically show sequels, whether they are neurological, cognitive or behavioural. Some of these disorders are immediately identified, such as neurological sequels, but others, such as cognitive or behavioural disorders, are revealed much later. Regular monitoring by a neuro-paediatrician is therefore essential in order to be able to adapt the child's care as closely as possible to his or her needs according to the sequels presented.
