The authors present the case of a 7-year-old child with moderate head injury and a closed skull fracture managed nonoperatively. A sonogram through the skull fracture was valuable in determining that there was no significant posttraumatic intracranial mass lesion. The boy was discharged home fully conscious and ambulant and with a mild left hemiparesis.

Key Words: head injury • sonogram • intracranial mass lesion
