Background: Traumatic brain injury is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world, as well as disability in the pediatric group. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of pediatric traumatic brain injury patients, considering the lack of data in Indonesia.

Results: Out of 296 patients, most of the patients were male (59.13%; 66.30%). Based on age group, the highest percentage was found in the (11-18-year-old) (40.87%) in operative patients and 5-10-year-old (37.57%) in non-operative patients. The most common cause of traumatic brain injury in operative patients was falling from motor vehicle (37.39%) while in non-operative patients was falling while playing (32.60%). The most common type of injury in operative patients was epidural hematoma (49.57%) and in non-operative patients was brain concussion (53.59%).
