GENERAL/TBIACUTE/TBIEPID/TBIMOD: Choose all that apply. Response is obtained from report by participant/subject or proxy. Document whether this information was obtained prior to study enrollment or later. Recommend collection as soon as possible after visit/admission. This element is recommended for pediatric studies. TBI as a result of the birth process is a common and well-described phenomenon. A recent study of 97 asymptomatic neonates found that 26% of those born vaginally had TBI identified on a 3T MRI performed an average of 21 days after birth. Unlike TBI due to other causes, the locations of the ICH associated with birth are almost exclusively posterior fossa/occipital lobes. Presenting symptoms due to birth-related TBI can range from none to severe and include apnea, bradycardia and/or seizures.
