Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 30
Abstract
With growing population, rapid urbanization and industrialization associated with high materialistic mind of human beings, incidence of unnatural deaths increasing in geometrical progression. Out of all unnatural deaths trauma plays the major role and head is the most vulnerable part to receive injuries in different manners. Intracranial hemorrhage being one of the major entities amongst all types of intracranial lesions is not only responsible for death but also impart numerous complications in life. Though many authors highlighted deaths and complications of Intracranial hemorrhages in details still no appropriate attempt had been made to evaluate such lesions in relation to different causative agents. Very little information regarding the epidemiology of ICH in head injuries with reference to causative agents is available. This present study focuses on variability of intracranial hemorrhage in relation to different causative agents and it is observed that RTA was found to be most common cause of head injuries revealing ICH (51.68%) whereas hard and blunt instrument was used to cause ICH in most of assault related head injuries. Mixed type of ICH was detected in 35.74% followed by solitary SDH in 28.01%.c
