AbstractThe importance of 33 infants with linear fractures of the skull caused by minor head injuries were studied. 32 of them were conscious and without neurological deficit. In 9 infants we noted transient focal pathological EEG changes. In 23 infants focal EEG findings due to functional disorders of the brain could not be demonstrated. But the considerable clinical importance of the linear fractures of the skull consists of the intracranial complications provoked by the anatomical specificities. This is demonstrated by an 8 months old infant, who developed an epidural hematoma after a minor head injury.
