Dr. R. Sudheer, Dr. Sriramaneni Venkateswara Rao

Abstract :

Road traffic accidents(RTA) have emerged as an important public health issue which needs to be tackled by a multidisciplinary approach. The leading cause of death in RTA is due to head trauma. Craniocereal injuries are a common cause of hospital admission following trauma, and are associated with significant long–term morbidity and mortality. CT remains essential for detecting lesions that require immediate neurosurgical intervention as well as those that require in–hospital observation and medical management. Objectives: To study various clinical and radiological patterns of head injuries on MDCT and to correlate with operative findings To identify the risk factors and to predict the outcome of head injuries in RTA Materials and methods: A descriptive MDCT study was undertaken in 120 patients of both sexes and all age groups with head injuries involved in RTA admitted in department of neurosurgery .all the scans in the study are performed by GE Revolution ACT 32 slice in ASRAMS Medical College Duration of study: The study was carried out over a period of One Year from June 2015 to June 2016
