It commonly results from high-velocity vehicle accidents, falls from heights, assaults and sport injuries. TBI can be classified as mild, moderate and severe depending on the score on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). In terms of neurosurgical emergencies, accurate imaging diagnosis is essential. In these cases, computed tomography (CT) is the most widely used and readily available neuroimaging modality. Mild TBI (mTBI) presents approximately 90% of all head injuries. A great number of mTBIs are believed to cause only transient functional impairments to the brain due to the lack of sufficient radiological evidence on conventional CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Generally, the diagnosis is based on the data obtained from the history and the neurological status. In some cases, categorized as ―complicated mTBI‖, CT may present with visible focal contusions consistent ...
