Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common public
health problem. Mild TBI is any head injury with Glasgow Coma
Scale (GCS) above 12. TBI comes to the forensic team’s attention.
Computed tomography (CT) is the investigation of choice in head
injury being available relatively cheap and rapidly acquainted but
less than 1 percent of head trauma patients have findings on CT
brain and it does not predict the neuropsychiatric outcome of the
mild TBI patients. Failure of diagnosis of head trauma patients and
its management might be well-thought-out as a medicolegal
negligence against the doctors. Biomarkers were proved to
increase in brain insults such as strokes or even in trauma cases
not involve head injuries. |
