The rapid increase in the population and Road traffic accidents led to rise in the number of head injury cases. Most of the cases reporting to the tertiary care hospitals present with injuries to ear, nose and throat. these injuries need to be addressed by ENT surgeons in addition general surgeons and neuro surgeons. A prospective study was done by us at tertiary care centre to assess the ear, nose and throat manifestations in head injury cases. The study was carried over a period of ten years and 100 patients were included. Number of male patients were more than females and young age group was affected more.This study highlights the necessity of the ENT surgeon's inclusion in the trauma team and the present study has been done to evaluate various ear, nose and throat manifestations and investigations which help in earlier diagnosis.
