Abstract

Background: Worldwide, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the single largest cause of death and disability following injury. Most TBI’s are due to road side accidents. According to WHO data, by the year 2020, head trauma will be third largest killer in the developing world. Methods: The present study was conducted in Department of Neurosurgery. The study group consisted of a total of 200 head injury patients presenting to the Trauma center and admitted in neurosurgery ward. Results: Out of 200 cases maximum case(40.00%) were from 21-30 year age group and minimum case(3.00%) were from 0-10 year age group. 81.00% were male and 19.00% were female. Only 21.00% patients managed by surgical treatment. Conclusion: The lack of awareness among the pedestrians and disregard for traffic rules by the motorists were important reasons for most of the accidents. Keywords: Neurosurgery, Trauma, Injury.
