In 49.2 percent the mechanism of trauma was falling; 49.7 percent of the cases had GCS between 13-15; 45.0 percent had skull fractures; 32.8 percent had associated intracranial injuries.Conclusion:
We observed that 76.2 percent of surgically treated patients were discharged with minimum or no neurological deficits.Palavras-chave
