Abstract :

 Objective: To determine the incidence of sodium ion imbalance in traumatic ain injury patients. Materials and methods : 100 patients of traumatic ain injury were included in the study. The patients are of either sex between 20 – 60 years of age group were included. Electrolyte evaluation with coputerized tomography ( CT scan ) of each patient was done to know the incidence of hyponatremia and hypernatremia during the hospital stay of the patient. Results : The age group of 31–40 years of age group of male patients about 93.93% were most commonly affected. Low serum sodium level was found in about 50% of cases and high serum sodium was found in 24% of cases. Conclusion : Electrolyte disturbances mainly of sodium should be treated at the right time to prevent morbidity and mortality in patients of traumatic ain injury
