摘要
Case records of children admitted with head injury due to TV fall in a pediatric tertiary care hospital in Chennai, during March 2007-February 2008 were analysed retrospectively. Out of the 11 children admitted 6 (54%) were in 1-2 yr age group. Bleeding from the ear, nose and throat was the commonest, finding followed by a skull fracture, seen on imaging studies. These were observed in 9 (81.81%) and 8(72.8%) children respectively. There was no mortality.
