Coagulopathy Following Pediatric Head Injury and Its Importance In Predicting Outcome

Abstract

Coagulopathy following pediatric head injury is not well known; in spite of its common occurrence following the injury and the fact that it may have a major prognostic role in the predicting the outcome of these children. The authors discuss the incidence, pathophysiology and management of coagulopathy in children with head injuries in light of the available literature and its usefulness in predicting outcome following head injury.
