N2  - Descriptive study on damage to children's health caused by accidents. The literature has mainly focused on the analysis of severe trauma. The main objective was to assess the morbidity and mortality based on the authors experience and to propose special measures to prevent this type of trauma. Home accidents are a frequent form of pediatric trauma, yet reports in the literature are not always consistent with its real prevalence. We believe that home traumatic events have been underestimated and neglected mainly because they are generally not a cause of death, especially among infants. We analyzed 21 patients who underwent a traumatic lesion at home.<p />  <p>Language: es</p>
