Division of Trauma, Department of Surgery, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School, University Hospital M-243, 150 Bergen St., Newark, NJ 07103, USA.
Background: Patients with minimal head injury (MHI) and a cranial computed axial tomography (CAT) scan positive for the presence of intracranial injury routinely undergo a repeat CAT scan within 24 hours after injury. The value of this repeat cranial CAT scan is unclear in those patients who are neurologically normal or improving.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of all adult patients admitted to a level-1 trauma center with MHI and a positive cranial CAT scan during a 32-month period was performed.
