As the survival rate of children and adolescents who have experienced head injuries has improved, attention has turned to outcome, including cognitive, social, and psychiatric problems. This article focuses on the evaluation and management of neuropsychiatric sequelae of severe head injuries occurring in childhood and adolescence. Medical management and psychotherapeutic interventions are discussed in the contexts of hospitalization and long-term follow-up at home and in the community.
