Abstract

During the last years neuromonitoring with various biochemical markers such as S100B protein has been introduced into the clinical settings of neonatal and pediatric intensive care. Several investigations have been undertaken to correlate S100B protein concentrations to the diagnosis and prognosis of neonates and children with severe cerebral disorders. This articles gives a review on the current knowledge, indications and limitations on the use of S100B protein after non-traumatic and traumatic brain injury in neonates and children.
