Call for Papers: Traumatic Brain Injury in children

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children is a major public health concern worldwide, representing a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. The developing brain is particularly vulnerable to mechanical forces, and even mild injuries may have long-lasting consequences on cognitive, behavioral, and emotional development. Mechanisms of injury vary with age, including falls, motor vehicle accidents, and sports-related trauma. Clinical presentation can be subtle, delaying recognition and treatment. Early diagnosis, appropriate acute management, and long-term follow-up are essential to minimize complications and improve functional outcomes for affected children and their families.

Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery welcomes the submission of manuscripts in these and other areas. Topics of interest include preclinical studies, clinical research, prehospital management, imaging, and others. 

Articles should be prepared in compliance with Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery  Instructions for Authors and submitted through the journal's Editorial Manager submission portal.

Please be sure to indicate in your cover letter that you are submitting in reply to this Call for Papers. Pre-submission approval via a proposal is not required.
