Abstract

The overall objective of head injury care is to minimize the occurrence of avoidable mortality and morbidity. Most avoidable mortality is due to delayed diagnosis and management of intracranial hematoma or the overlooking of systemic extracranial events. Most avoidable morbidity is in mild and moderately disabled patients. Overall too much attention has probably been paid to very severely injured patients both in the acute stage and during rehabilitation.
