In a study carried out in Spain among the children under the age of 16, 55.7% of accidents of the accidents occurred in home . Home accidents are important public health problem because of high morbidity and mortality, especially in children and elderly . Falls, fall of objects on, burns, scalding, poisoning, cuts, electrical accidents and drowning in water are some of the types of home accidents . In case of head trauma mortality rate is between 2-15% . Here in, we investigated head traumas among home accidents caused by fallen televisions in a four year period. Material and Methods This retrospective study performed in a pediatric trauma center between Jan 1, 2009 – Dec 31, 2012. All patients under the age of seven who was admitted to the emergency department after isolated head trauma caused by fallen television. Patients with multisystem injury, equal and above the age of seven are excluded the study. Age, sex, radiologic findings, Glasgow coma scales, operation and mortality records are investigated. 26 patients were included the study. Glasgow coma scale was divided into three groups; 0-8 severe, 9-13 moderate and 14-15 mild. Continuous variables are expressed as mean±standard deviation; countable variables are expressed as percents. Results M/F ratio was 3/4. Mean age was 38±16 months. Age groups were expressed in Table 1. There wasn’t any case under the age of one. It is probably because of their mobility. Mortality is seen in 5 (19.2%) patients; three of them were diagnosed as subdural hematoma, one is epidural hematoma and the last was subarachnoid hematoma. Glasgow coma scales of the dead patients are smaller than . 7 (26.9%) of the patients was undergone surgery, 9 (34.6%) of them hospitalized in critical care unit. Computed brain tomography findings and their mortality rates are given in Table 2. The most frequently seen pathology was soft tissue swelling (34.6%) and the second was linear fractures (30.7%) of the cranium. Table 1.
