Correlation between Patient Outcome and Spectrum of Ct Lesions in Traumatic Brain Injury in Road Traffic Accidents

The study was conducted to observe the spectrum of CT head findings in RTA presenting to a tertiary care hospital and also to correlate the clinical observations on admission with the CT findings using revised trauma score (RTS) (Foreman et al., 2007) and modified Marshall CT grading (Marshall et al., 1991) as well as the outcome of the patient. It was concluded that Modified Marshall CT Score has a strong predictive significance, which, in combination with Revised Trauma Score and papillary status can provide sufficient information regarding the patient management and prognosis. Urgent CT Scan of head in traumatic brain injury patients helps to detect operable mass lesions and improves patient outcome through timely decompressive surgery.
