Introduction: Head injury has been recognized as a major public health problem and is a frequent cause of death and disability in young people and makes considerable demands on health services. Motor vehicle accidents are the major causes of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that its occurrence has been increasing in our country in recent years.Objective: We decided to study head injury in our region to evaluate the Epidemiological, clinical and radiological features of this health problem.Materials and methods: We reviewed 200 TBI-patients records in Ali ebn abitaleb hospital of Rafsanjan from November 2012 – September 2013. A Questionnaire including Age, Sex, Job, Cause of trauma, GCS, Brain CT Scan findings and clinical symptoms for every head trauma patient; was completed. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. We used Chi-square test and P-Value less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: From the total of 200 patients, 73.5% were males and 26.5% were females. The most common age group was 20-24 years. Majority of patients were students. Traffic accidents were the major cause of injuries (64.5%) and 35.5% of them were motorcyclist. The most frequent finding of Brain CT scan was skull fracture and subdural hematoma. 25% of patient had severe head injury. In clinical symptoms in conscious patients, headache, nausea, vomiting and vertigo was common.Conclusion: This study showed that we should pay more attention to traumatic brain injury young patients who are the most active potential forces of our society. Traffic accident s are the major reason for head injuries. Pay attention to prevention of this accident can perform important role in decreasing of head injuries.

Background: Head injury is one of common trauma at ED. It is also main cause of dead and disability of trauma. In Vietnam, accident traffic is most common cause of head injury. ED admits a large number of moderate and severe head injury patients everyday. These injuries can result in physical and mental consequences because of traumatic brain injury (TBI); burden to family and society. However, there is not a consensus in statistics of cause, severe symptom, risk factors to severity and short-term outcome at these patients. Objectives: assessement of cause, symptom and risk factors of moderate and severe head injuries as well as presentations of CT scanner. Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional study. Population of interest: Patients with trauma who transported to ED of Hue Central Hospital and classified as moderate and severe head injuries were chosen conveniently into the study. Inclusion criteria: Patients with trauma by any reason; Glasgow score≤13, Sample size: There was not limitation of case number. Results: There were 50 patients with severe and moderate head injury. Main cause of trauma was traffic accident (92.2%). Patients were transported to ED by private vehicles (84,3%). Mean age of male was 38.20±14.28, female was 33.00±17.82 (p>0.05). Most of accident were not witnessed by family and not rescued by bystanders. There was an evaluable concentration of plasma ethanol in 88.2% of patients with mean level of 33.99±21.88 mmol/L in male and 12.90±19.98 mmol/L in female (p<0.05). Ethanol levels in severe head trauma were lower than ones in moderate head trauma (p<0.001). Ethanol levels were not different in patients with different lesions on CT scanners (p>0.05). It existed a correlation between Glasgow score and ethanol levels (r=0.43, p<0.01). Expired rate of patient at ED was 21.6%. Conclusion: Main cause of trauma was traffic accident (99.2%). There were 88.2% of patients used ethanol before trauma; 15.7% of patients were transported by ambulance. There were 64.7% with headache; amnesia of accident 82.4%; vomiting 78.4%; scalp wound 45.1%; ear bleeding 7.8%; nose bleeding 7.8%; raccoon eye 19.6%. It did not exist a difference of ethanol levels in different lesions on head CT scanner. Expired rate of patient at ED was 21.6%. Key words: head injury, traffic accident, ethanol, Glasgow

In Reply.— Dr Ciastko raises an important point. Serious head injury is not limited to victims of bicycle mishaps. Pedestnians, motor vehicle occupants, playground users, and others are all at risk for serious head injury. Physicians and others involved in preventive health cane certainly should direct their efforts at preventing these other causes of childhood mortality and death. Nonetheless, the importance of bicycle-related head trauma should not be underestimated. Despite Dr. Ciastko's findings, the literature suggests that bicycle mishaps are an important cause of serious head injuries.

ABSTRACT AIM This study retrospectively reviewed the management of head injury at Lakes District Hospital in Queenstown, New Zealand. The aim is to describe the management of minor head injury with particular reference to the current Traumatic Brain Injury guidelines of the New Zealand Guidelines Group. METHODS We identified all patients with head injury as a primary diagnosis who were seen in the Emergency Department at Lakes District Hospital during 2013–2015. We recorded clinical criteria indicating need for computed tomography (CT) scanning according to current guidelines for management of minor head injury. RESULTS A total of 883 patients were seen with head injury as their primary diagnosis: 280 patients aged >15 years had a minor head injury that met current criteria for immediate CT scanning. Of these, 66 (23.6%) actually had a CT head scan. CONCLUSION The rate of CT head scanning for minor head injury in Queenstown does not comply with current New Zealand guidelines.

Pemantauan saat terjadinya trauma dan pemantauan jangka panjang diperlukan untuk mendeteksi secara dini kelainan perkembangan anak.Kata kunci: Trauma kepala anak, cedera kepala, pemantauan Abstract. Head trauma in children can occur due to blows, falls, collisions or sudden shocks. Mild head trauma is one of the most common cases in pediatric neurology. Head trauma can cause head injuries and is the leading cause of death in children. Differences in terms of anatomy, physiology, and metabolism in children and adults make it easier for children to experience head injuries than adults. Monitoring when trauma occurs and long-term monitoring is needed to detect early childhood developmental abnormalities. Key words: head trauma in children, head injury, follow up
