[Brain injuries in childhood. A follow-up study of 600 cases (author's transl)].
A follow-up study of nearly 600 children who had sustained a brain injury of various degree signifies that the prognosis is not as good as is generally assumed. Whereas the initial neurological and psycho-reactive changes may regress in most cases, neurovegetative and psycho-organic disturbances remain frequently. The most prominent finding, however, is the reduced capacity for school-work leading to frequent changes of class and to a reduced expectancy for later profession. The knowledge of these sequelae underlines the urgent need to reinforce all measures to prevent brain injuries in childhood.
