CT has revolutionized the evaluation and management of patients with head injuries. CT is noninvasive and rapidly provides accurate information regarding the presence, extent and nature of intracranial lesions resulting from trauma. We have reviewed the CT scans of 114 patients, who got head injury with confirmed to skull fracture in plain film. The result were as follows; 1. Of all cases, traffic accident was the most frequent cause and in children fall down was more than 50%. 2. Compound linear fracture was the most frequent type fractures in plain skull film. 3. Of all 114 case, epidural hematoma was 16%, subdural hematoma was 18.4%, intracerebral hematoma was14.4%, subdural hygroma was 2.4%, normal finding was 50%. 4. Mortality rate was 13.2%. 5. Fracture was detected by CT about 28.9%, depression fracture was more easily detected in CT. 6. Incidence rate of countercoup lesion was14.0% and mortality rate was higher than same site lesion, 7. The shape of epidural hematoma was biconvex in 75%, planoconvex in 25%. 8. The shape of subdural hematoma was crescentic shape 82.6%, biconvex shape 8.7%, planoconvex shape 8.7%.

The study was undertaken to asses the changes in the size and densities of intracranial hematomas by analyzingthe sequential CT examination of 23 patients ar Soon Chun Hyang College Hospital from July '80 to Aug. '81. Theresuls were as follows; 1. The high densities of hematoma were the cause of hematoma, hematoma locaiton, age andsex of patients, and initial hematoma size. 3. The CT findings that indicate complete absorption of hematomas werenormalization of mass effect, not diappearence of hematoma densities. 4. In intracerebral hematoma, the highdensity of hematoma reduced it's density and mass effect about 4-6 weeks duration. 5. In subdural hematoma, about7 weeks after head trauma, the CT findings were normalized.
