2007, Surgical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Additional imaging can then be performed to assess the extent of intracranial injury. Studies to define better the group of children needing a head CT scan have not been definitive, with even a documented loss of consciousness lacking predictive value [64,65]. The presence of altered mental status, focal neurologic deficit, skull fracture, loss of consciousness, emesis, amnesia, headache, or drowsiness have all been suggested as indications for imaging [51,66].
