Abstract
Aim: To present a detailed description and to assess outcomes of trauma caused by televisions (TVs) toppling onto children during the last 17 yearsMaterials and Methods: The records of 34 patients aged 0-16 years with TV-related serious head injuries presenting to a tertiary hospital during the last 17 years were retrospectively reviewed. From the hospital’s file recordings, authors retrieved data about demographic information; Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS) score; length of hospital stay; injuries supervened to the scalp, cranium, or brain; and Glasgow Outcome Scale score.Results: Thirty-four children were injured following TV falls between January 2000 and December 2017. Of these, 44.1% (n=15) were toddlers aged 2-3 years, and 73.5% (n=25) were girls. All of the injuries occurred at home, and all of them had skull fractures. Five children (14.3%) had a PGCS of
