    AbstractTraumatic brain injury is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. The use of continuous EEG monitoring in the pediatric intensive care unit setting to aid in the management of acute traumatic brain injury is becoming more common, although practice does vary between institutions. This variability is a product of the relative paucity of data, particularly as it applies to prospective studies, in evaluating the use of continuous EEG after traumatic brain injury in the pediatric population. This review will summarize the current literature involving the utility of continuous EEG monitoring in children with acute traumatic brain injury, with focus on specific indications, impact on management, and prognostic value.
