Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Trauma is a critical global health problem. It represents the fifth leading cause of significant disability and is one of the most common causes of mortality in youth and adulthood, as one in 10 deaths worldwide occurred due to trauma.

The head is preferred target for criminal acts and is a favorite place for various pathological lesions .Traumatic head injury (THI)is one of the prevalent causes of global death and disability. lately, head injury (HI) cases have increased in both developed and developing nations. Therefore, it is of great value to evaluate the clinical and pathological features of head injury .

Every injury that results in harm to the scalp, skull or brain can be sort out as a HI which can be caused by traffic mishap, falls, sports and gunshot wounds. Vehicle accidents are one of the most prevalence causes of THI as they are deemed to be one of the main causes of fatality due to road-traffic accidents (RTA) .Among different type of the RTA, motorcycle accidents holds the number one cause of accident in most of the country .

Skull fracture and hemorrhage are common association, which may be present with head trauma and affect the outcome of the case.The skull fractures, especially by blunt force offer varying diagnostic and medico- legal problems to the medical jurists as well as to the clinicians.
