Background: The EDH occurs due to the accumulation of bleeding between the inner table of the skull and the outer layer of the dura mater. It is said to account for 1% -3% of all head injured patients and 9% of those who are comatose. The only life-saving treatment of choice is evacuation of EDH via craniotomy. Methods: This was a prospective observational study, where 40 patients were in follow-up for determining the outcomes of evacuation via craniotomy. Results: Majority of the patients were young and males. The main outcome of the evacuation was favorable (recovered), but certain unfavorable outcomes were also accounted like mortality. Conclusion: The pre-surgery clinical findings like consciousness of patient were an important indicator for EDH evacuation outcome. In most of the cases, the outcome was favorable with progressive recovery.

Traumatic head injury (THI) is of great public health importance as it account for over 40% of morbidities presenting at various hospitals annually. This study evaluated the patterns of head CT findings of 53 head trauma patients that visited the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) from 2016 to 2018. A retrospective approach was adopted for the study. Tables and graphical descriptors were used to summarise the extracted data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. The results revealed that 21 (39.62%) and 26 (49.06%) of patients sustained intracranial and extra-cranial injuries respectively. Unspecified source and RTA contributed 60.36% and 33.97% of the sources of trauma respectively. Fractures (92.31%) and sinusitis (76.91%) were the major leading extraaxial lesion whereas brain contusions (33.32%) and intra-cranial haematomas (52.36%) were the most predominant intra-axial lesions. The sex outcome was 41 (77.36%) males and 12 (22.64%) females. Occurrence of trauma and THI were frequent in the age groups 21-40 years and ≤10 years than any other age categories. In conclusion, greater percent of the assessed patients with THI were males, young persons and ≤10years of age. Both intra and extra-cranial injuries were observed in our study sample except that normal findings were more common.
