Risk of mild head injury in preschool children: Relationship to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms

Child's Nervous System Jun 14, 2018

Altun H, et al. - Researchers explored the link between mild head injury (MHI) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in preschool children. A patient group of 30 children aged 3–6 years with mild head trauma and a control group of 30 healthy and age- and sex-matched children were involved in this investigation. Using the Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Revised Long (CPRS-RL) form, the symptoms of ADHD were assessed. Compared to healthy children without trauma, preschool children with MHI have more pre-injury ADHD symptoms and oppositional and emotional-behavioral symptoms. Children with MHI for ADHD symptoms should be screened by a practitioner and be referred for treatment when necessary. They suggested that evaluation by a child psychiatrist of children presenting with MHI could prevent the repetition of injuries.
