DC PEDS Head Trauma

Your child has been evaluated in the Olive View-UCLA Emergency Department today for head trauma. Your child's evaluation was not suggestive of any emergent condition requiring medical intervention at this time. Your child was observed in the ED without any evidence of neurological instability. 

Please follow up with your pediatrician as needed. If you do not have a Pediatrician, you can walk into the pediatric clinic on the scheduled clinic days to establish a doctor for you child.  Please call (818) 364-3141 if you have any problems finding the clinic. 

Return to the Emergency Department if your child experiences worsening headaches, vision changes, recurrent vomiting, difficulty with normal activities, lethargy, abnormal behavior, difficulty walking, weakness, persistent fevers, or any other concerning symptoms. 

Thank you for choosing Olive View-UCLA for your child’s care.
