Abstract
Head injury is the leading cause of morbidity, mortality, disability and socioeconomic losses in India and other developing countries. This article indicates magnitude of the problem, causes, mode of injury, occurrence, risk factors, severity, outcome and impact of head injury on rapidly transforming societies. In India 1.5 to 2.0 million people sustain head injury and 1 million succumb to death every year. RTA are the leading cause (60%), followed by falls (20-25%) and violence (10%). Alcohol involvement and non use of helmet are known to be present in 15-20% of head injuries at the time of injury. The rehabilitation needs of the brain injured people are significantly high and increasing year to year.
