Abstract

 

The study pertains to comparative evaluation of CT scan finding and post mortem examination findings in fifty  cases of head injury victims. It was observed that although CT scan is a useful tool for the diagnosis of various  kinds of lesions of head injury, autopsy was found to be more effective in detecting them.
