AB  - Primary  etiologies  of  acute  brain  injury  in  children  include  traumatic  brain  injury  (TBI),  hypoxic-ischemic  encephalopathy  (HIE),  stroke,  cerebral  hemorrhages,  infections,  inflammatory  conditions,  seizures,  tumor  or  mass  lesions,  metabolic  abnormalities,  and  toxins  (Table  105-1).  TBI  is  the  leading  cause  of  death  and  disability  in  both  children  older  than  1  year  of  age  and  young  adults.  Following  the  primary  injury,  the  tissues  surrounding  the  injury  and  the  entire  brain  are  vulnerable  to  further  secondary  injuries.  The  purpose  of  the  initial  management,  investigation,  monitoring,  and  treatment  of  acute  brain  injuries  is  aimed  at  preventing  this  secondary  injury.
