whose causes address different topics depending on the age of occurrence of the injury. Neuropsychological characteristics that appear after a TBI are many and some of them can interfere with the current school performance and future demands. The aim of this study is to analyze the functional status of the different neuropsychological factors after head trauma in childhood, taking into account the location variables (cerebral hemisphere and affected unit) and type of injury (mild, moderate or severe). The study involved 26 children aged 5 to 7 years of age, diagnosed with TBI. All children were assessed with the “child Neuropsychological Screening Puebla -Sevilla” test. The results suggest neuropsychological conditions dependent on location of the lesion rather than the severity or type of injury sustained. Findings are discussed in terms of neuropsychological syndromes and their possible effects on subsequent performance in children.
