Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a challenging and complicated disease process to care for, despite the advance of technology used to monitor and
guide treatment. 1 TBI is defined by an alteration in the brain function, or other evidence of
brain pathology, caused by an external force. In this definition, the presence of confounding factors such as intoxication or medical illness does not preclude

patient's symptoms are a consequence of the TBI.

the main lymphatic system.[1, 2] Acquired lesions are caused by obstruction between lymphatic and venous systems due to inflammation, trauma or
degeneration.[3] Head and neck are more commonly affected (75%), followed by axillae (20%) and abdomen (5%).[4] Amongst abdominal cases, mesentery
is the main location but the gastrointestinal tract, spleen, liver, kidneys and adrenals may also be affected

This article analyzes the psychosocial complexity of child sexual abuse from a medical perspective, through a theoretical review of the main considerations
on the subject. The lack of preparation of the general medical personnel for the diagnosis and treatment of cases is recognized, as well as in mastering the care
protocols for these victims and their families. That is why a group of practical
considerations are offered for the care of these children and their families, from
primary health care services.
