Abstract
The diagnosis and management of head trauma has changed significantly with the availability
of computed tomography. CT not only demonstrates the presence of a mass, but also
delineates acute bleed from brain swelling, CT is useful in determining whether the
hematoma is intracerebral or extracerebral, as well as its volume, extent, and multiplicity.
CT provides the opportunity for noninvasive sequential studies in the management of
the patient with severe head trauma. Sequential CT studies have also been useful in
understanding the long-term effects of head trauma. CT has eliminated the need for
other diagnostic studies in all but the most exceptional situations.
