Abstract

AIM: Television tip overs and head traumas in children showed an increase in the recent years in Turkey and throughout the world. In this study, the injury types, the surgical interventions and the children exposed to head trauma due to an accident caused by a falling television were investigated retrospectively. Some cautions were suggested in order to prevent these injuries.
