Abstract

Previously, “the mainstay of diagnosis of intracranial traumatic lesions was at best clinical evaluation, plain roentgenograms of skull and cerebral angiography. An accurate diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of physical examination alone except on rare occasion. In addition a detailed examination cannot be performed when patients condition is rapidly deteriorating Plain roentgenograms and angiography suffer from lack of sensitivity and specificity. Angiography in addition is hazardous invasive procedure on a patient already having potential brain damage.”
