The Brain

There have been a few case reports of head injury leading to brain tumour development in the same region as the brain injury. Here we report a case where the patient suffered a severe head injury with contusion. He recovered clinically with conservative management. Follow up Computed Tomography scan of the brain a month later showed complete resolution of the lesion. He subsequently developed malignant brain tumour in the same region as the original contusion within a very short period of 15 months. Head injury patients need close follow up especially when severe. The link between severity of head injury and malignant brain tumour development needs further evaluation. Role of anti-inflammatory agents for prevention of post traumatic brain tumours needs further exploration.

Objective: To assess the outcome of severe head injury in patients with GCS 8 or below. Design:Retrospective study. Setting: Department of Neurosurgery, Allied Hospital, Punjab Medical College, Faisalabad.Period: Two years Aug 2002 to July 2004. Material and Methods: Two hundred patients admitted in the departmentof Neurosurgery, Allied Hospital, with Glasgow Coma scale 8 or below irrespective of mode of injury and age wereselected with a follow up of up to twelve months. The patients were assessed on arrival in the emergency room on thebasis of GCS. The patients were managed accordingly. Results: 71% patients were managed conservatively and 29%patients under went surgical intervention. Overall mortality was 40%. Outcome was good in 15% where as 11% patientsremained vegetative. Conclusion: Severe head injury has a mortality of 40%, especially in very young and very oldpatients.
