What is prognosis of head injury patients?.
There can be no single answer for this question. Head injury could imply haemorrhage, which can be extra dural, subdural, subarachnoid, intracerebral or intra ventricular. A pontine haemorrhage means 100% mortality. Intraventricular haemorrhage can raise ICT, cause coning and death. Extradural, subdural and subarachnoid haemorrhages can all cause death or varying levels of residual neurological defects.
