Abstract

Aim and objective: The goal of our research was to find traumatic brain injuries in patients who had a history of falling and had a CT scan. Material and methodology: The Radiology Department of DHQ Hospital, Jhelum, conducted this prospective cross-sectional study for 3 months. It includes a total of 79 patients who presented with a history of fall. The patients included 35 males & 26 women, ages ranging from one to ninety-five yrs. The frequency of findings was assessed by using SPSS version 20. Results: Out of 79 patients, 36 cases were found to have brain fractures, 23 participants showed scalp thickness while 17 patients had a hematoma and 12 patients had opacification. 
 Conclusion: Children made up most of the fall injury patients that visited emergency rooms. Frequent Emergency department visits in youngsters due to fall-related traumatic brain injury indicate a significant public health load, as evidenced by a rise in emergency room visits for TBI caused by a fall in an age category with a significantly greater risk of falling and a larger chance of long-term effects from the injury.
