Abstract

Head injury is a morbid state resulting from gross subtle structural changes in the scalp. Skull and/or the contents of the skull produce by mechanical forces. The application of blunt force to the head may result injury to the contents of the skull either alone or with a fracture skull. In six month study period total 64 cases of head Injuries were admitted in B.C. Roy Hospital. Total number of Male patients admitted in Hospital due to head Injuries were 46(71.87%) and female were (28.12%). 32.81% the victims aged between 21 to 30 years. In present series of study R.T.A. was most common cause of Head Injury 85.95%. Most common CT finding was Skull fracture 34.37% followed by cerebral contusion 32.81%, extradural hematoma 25% and 21.87% subarachnoid hemorrhage. CT scan was the main tool for the imaging the Skull and its contents.
