İstismara Bağlı Kafa Travması
Özet
İstismara bağlı kafa travması, özellikle bebeklerin sarsılması sonucu oluşan ve bebeklik çağında en sık görülen kaza dışı ölüm nedenlerinden biridir. Tanı, klinik şüphe, ayrıntılı öykü ve radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemleriyle konulmakta olup, semptomların nonspesifik olması tanı sürecini zorlaştırabilmektedir. Kalıcı beyin hasarına ve ağır nörolojik sekellere yol açtığı için, bu vakalarda temel yaklaşım koruyucu hekimlik ve aile eğitimidir.
Abusive head trauma, often caused by shaking infants, serves as a leading cause of non-accidental mortality during early childhood. Diagnosis relies heavily on clinical suspicion, comprehensive history-taking, and neuroimaging, as symptoms are frequently non-specific and easily misdiagnosed. Given the high likelihood of irreversible neurological sequelae and permanent brain damage, primary prevention through caregiver education and protective measures remains the most critical intervention.
