STUDY OF COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY BRAIN SCAN IN PATIENTS WITH TRAUMATIC HEAD INJURY

Abstract

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was classified to mild, moderate or severe depending on the level of patient's consciousness and neurologic functioning levels. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) always used scale to determine the severity. The good eye opening response, verbal response and the motor responses, determine the score on a scale of 3- 15 (EMV-score). The sum of the numeric scores of each of the categories is the represented score. Also, the score can be documented
by the individual components.
