Retrospective analysis of 200 cases of documented head trauma demonstrated an accuracy approaching 100% in the diagnosis of intra- and extracerebral collections of blood. Caution must be exercised in the evaluation of trauma 1 to 5 weeks old, since subdural hematomas have the same density as normal brain tissue, and angiography may be necessary. The clinical diagnosis of brainstem contusion is associated with a remarkably high level (54%) of surgically correctable lesions. The use of computed tomography in the evaluation of other traumatic intracranial lesions is discussed.
