Abstract

The encephalic cranial trauma constitutes a habitual entity of observation in the general medical practice. It has been observed an outstanding increase of the moderated and severe cranial trauma in our country, mainly related to car accidents. This fact turns the encephalic cranial trauma into an epidemiologic problem. In this case the computerized axial tomography (CAT) offers fast and information of the brain tissue, like the presence of blood collections and fractures. For the aforesaid aspects we feel motivated to perform this job. It was performed a descriptive and retrospective  research of all the patients that were assisted at Celia Sanchez Manduley province hospital in Manzanillo, diagnosed by CAT of moderated encephalic cranial trauma since January to December, 2008. The universe was made by 105 patients. There were taken into account some variables like: age, sex and results of the initial tomography, obtaining as outstanding results that the most affected group of age was included between 41 to 50 years, as well as the male sex. The subdural hematoma and contusional focus were the most frequent lesions. The epidural hematoma was more associated to fractures, brain edema and effect of mass with more than 5mm.
