ABSTRACT
Introduction: Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is a significant public health concern worldwide. Materials and Methodology: Patients who were admitted at New Civil Hospital, Surat, from December 2014 to June 2015 were analyzed, and substantial recovery is expected to occur within the first 3 months of MTBI, but up to 15% of cases may not have recovered more than a year after injuries. This group typically presents with complex and clinically challenging symptoms with associated psychosocial burden and is often referred to as suffering from the postconcussion syndrome. Results: In the present study, 67 (67%) patients were males and 33 (33%) were females. Most common presenting complaint was loss of consciousness in 54 (54%) patients, followed by vomiting in 32(32%) patients. At the time of 6 months follow-up, most common complaint is headache in 42.8% cases, followed by giddiness in 18.7%, insomnia in 9.9%, and seizure with least common in 2.2% cases. Conclusion: MTBI is a significant health problem due to wide majority of patients. Epidemiology is suggesting that there is a significant increase in incidence of traumatic brain injuries, and almost 75% are of mild variety.
