Embryological Concepts for Head Injury in the Newborn and Infant

  • Chapter
Head Injuries in the Newborn and Infant

Part of the book series: Principles of Pediatric Neurosurgery ((PRINCPEDIATR))

Abstract

To participate in the treatment of head injury in infants and young children, one must be familiar with the overall development of the nervous system, including the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathway. In addition to grasping the functional and structural organization of the nervous system, one must also understand the development of neurons, neural tracts, and the structure for brain protection as they relate to the unique clinical features of head injuries in infants and young children. This chapter focuses on the development of (1) neurons and neural tracts and (2) the subarachnoid space, and the arachnoid membrane.
