Abstract :

Head injury is considered as a major health problem that is a frequent cause of death and disability and makes considerable demands on health services. CT remains essential for detecting severity of head injury that require immediate neurosurgical intervention as well as those that require in–hospital observation and medical management. The present study has endeavored to evaluate the computed tomography findings in patients sustaining head injury and to emphasize the importance of computed tomography scan in head injury. Our study includes total number of 100 patients of head injury those were evaluated by CT scan of ain using GE Bright speed 16 slice CT Machine in our radiology department. CT scan of ain is currently the most appropriate diagnostic modality in cases of head injury for early diagnosis and to decide appropriate medical or surgical management which helps in predicting ultimate outcome.
