Minor head injury is extremely common. It is difficult to provide statistics on injuries that are never reported or seen by a doctor. About 400,000 pediatric ER visits are due to head injuries. Only about 3-5% of these cases involve internal injury and only a small proportion (less than 1%) of children with intracranial injury require surgery.
