"So in summary:
- Most are atraumatic and spontaneous and will resolve spontaneously: analgesia (and possibly benzodiazepines) constitute first-line treatment
- If there is a history of a traumatic mechanism of injury, imaging can be helpful
- Thorough assessment for potential infection and neurological signs is very important (the key here is thorough history-taking and examination)
- Those which are not resolving should be reassessed; consider planned follow-up for kids and clear safety netting for all patients"
