Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea results in high morbidity and mortality if left untreated.
Surgical intervention is recommended in such cases; however, success is dependent on …

Temporal bone trauma, with or without associated fracture, is not uncommon in the context
of severe trauma and frequently occurs in the context of closed head injury. It is estimated …

Abstract “Prompt recognition of treatable injuries is critical to reduce mortality and CT of the
head is the cornerstone for rapid diagnosis2. Follow up assessment using CT is frequently …

Previously,“the mainstay of diagnosis of intracranial traumatic lesions was at best clinical
evaluation, plain roentgenograms of skull and cerebral angiography. An accurate diagnosis …

BACKGROUND Craniocerebral trauma ranks high in order of frequency and gravity
