title: [Cranial injuries in childhood and a radiologic study].
abstract: 527 patients with cranial traumas aged between 15 days and 13 years 10 months old were examined. All the subjects were treated at the Paediatric Division of Biella Hospital in 1972-1982, and were given cranial radiography. The most frequent types of trauma for the different age groups were noted, together with any correspondence between clinical signs and the presence of a cranial fracture. The study seeks to make a practical contribution to the problem of the principles on which radiological examinations should be based in order to haven a clear prognosis and indications for treatment.
