Abstract

The brain, situated in the skull, can suffer a trauma through direct or indirect shocks. Primary and secondary lesions determine the evolution of the trauma. The initial clinical assessment and repeated clinical examinations are the basis of the monitoring. The diagnosis of any head lesion is made by CT-scan. A head injury must always be considered to be associated with other lesions until there is evidence to the contrary.
