Head injury continues to be a nightmare, not only for the public but also for the
neurosurgeon, because of high morbidity and mortality. Study published in
Journal of Neurotrauma June 2001, which was a leading article from International
Neurotrauma Conference, concluded that no change in last 30 years in mortality
or morbidity of severe head injury.
Unfortunately, incidence of head injury is rapidly increasing in the world,
especially in developing countries including India. While in US, Australia or in
Japan head injury incidence has fallen significantly. Loss of young people at their
productive age, is a great financial loss for family as well as for the country. In India,
problem has become more acute over last two decades, basically due to increased
vehicular traffic and poor maintenance of the road. The number of head injuries
are expected to increase further, due to urbanization, industrialization and
increase in vehicular population.
