Resumen
cráneo simple en los casos de trauma encefalocraneano leve, más aun en pacientes menores de 2 años.
En la mayoría de estos pacientes existe bajo riesgo de injuria intracraneal, sin embargo, este grupo etario plantea mayores retos diagnósticos por las dificultades en su evaluación y las pocas manifestaciones clínicas que podrían presentar dado a sus características anatómicas.
Resulta necesario acogerse a las guías de práctica clínica que contengan reglas de decisión clínicas, que incluyan los signos y/o síntomas con mayor valor predictivo para detectar injuria intracraneal, costo efectivas y redundando en el beneficio del paciente.
