Abstract
Computed tomographic (CT) scan is the neuro-imaging gold standard for evaluation of head injured patients. It guarantees a definitive diagnosis and guides specific treatment. Intracranial haemorrhage is the commonest cranio-cerebral computed tomographic finding in head injury cases seen in our centre. CT scan remains invaluable in the assessment and treatment of some patients with head injuries, considering the high rate of abnormal findings.
