Abstract

Sports participation by children and adolescents is generally high in Australia and New Zealand,1, 2 and many children sustain head injuries of varying severity during such activities. Concussion has received increasing attention, but less is known about the risk of severe acute intracranial injuries in children with sports‐related head injuries.3
