ABSTRACT
Head injuries are a common cause of death and permanent disability, particularly in the first decades of life. The high mortality and morbidity associated with head trauma is due mostly to the severity of the injury itself but also in part to the possible events that could aggravate the primary brain damage. This also occurs in patients with an initially mild head trauma. This article reviews imaging procedures, complications of head trauma, and the order of diagnostic evaluation.
