Magnetic Resonance Imaging Reveals an Important Role for Brain Ischemia Across Injury Severity in Abusive Head Trauma in Infants and Young Children
Ischemia was associated with AHT and unfavorable outcomes. Ischemia in mild AHT suggests an unrecognized injury. Further work is needed to determine whether early MRI may be an important tool to detect ischemia and AHT.
