For at least 1 year we have done a follow-up on 178 children under the age of 18 years with head injuries treated between 1981 and 1987. The Brussel Coma Scale and the Glasgow Outcome Score were used to determine neurological deficits and patient outcome. In children with coma, there was good recovery or moderate disability in 71.4%, severe disability in 6.1%, and death in 22.5%. When all head injuries were taken into consideration, a satisfactory outcome was found in 84.3%, severe disability in 3.3%, and death in 12.4%. The outcome mainly depended on the initial coma grade, but the duration of coma or advanced age were also negative factors for outcome. In 14.8%, intracranial mass lesions showed no significant correlation with outcome. In contrast to adults, diffuse brain swelling had a satisfactory outcome in 85.1%.
