N2  - This study reports on 52 children and adolescents, with head injuries, in whom the EEG, recorded from 24 to 48 h after the accident, showed a focus of monomorphic or regular delta waves. The focus was most often localized in the occipital region, less frequently in the frontal or temporal lobe. In half of the cases, the patients presented a clinical symptomatology which could be alarming. In all of them the evolution was favourable, clinical signs regressing in a few days. A second EEG, recorded 1 week after the trauma, indicated either clear improvement, or complete normalisation. The importance of these data for the management of head injuries in the child, seems unquestionable.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
