Evaluation of ExtraAxial Brain Hemorrhage Using Computed Tomography

Abstract

The extra axial brain hemorrhage causes mortality when not early diagnosed and treated. The study aimed to evaluate the extra axial brain hemorrhage using computed tomography. Collcted all the patients from Ibrahim Malik Hospital from march to may 2016 .Non contrast computed tomography was done in all patients . The result from 60 patients with different age and gender diagnosed as extra axial brain hemorrhage.In this study peak incidence was among the age between (41-50 year),(63.3%) of patients complain of headache as common clinical indication. Found the Right side was common in (51.7%) ,and the Subdural hemorrhage (48.4%) was common in final diagnosing . Apercentages of male (80%) was greater than the female (20%), and the Road traffic accident was common causes of brain injury in (81.7%).Related to the nature of the hemorrhage (case) found the acute was common in (68.3 %) . The acute Epidural hemorrhage was common (91.3%) in correlation between nature and location of hemorrhage. Using non contrast computed tomography as initial investigation for diagnosing extra axial brain hemorrhage after brain injury is neccesary.
