Abstract
Cranial computerized tomography (CT) has revolutionized the evaluation and management of patients with head injuries (7, 39, 58). CT is noninvasive and rapidly provides accurate information regarding the presence, extent, and nature of intracranial lesions resulting from trauma. Angiography is usually necessary only to define the integrity of vessels in penetrating injuries or suspected carotid cavernous fistulas. CT has proven indispensable in permitting noninvasive followup of these patients.Keywords
