Head injuries or Craniocerebral injuries occupy a significant place due to high morbidity and mortality in developing countries like India. With severe paucity of trained man power, investigative facilities and rehabilitative services, traumatic brain injuries place considerable burden on care givers in different situations. Head injury is the most common emergency encountered in trauma units and casualty departments. The present study was undertaken on 100 victims died due to head injury to find their age & sex distribution, timing of head injury, survival period, types of skull fractures & types of intracranial haemorrhage. The highest incidence was seen in age group of 21­30 years and males clearly outnumbered females. In the present study, most of the incidents occurred between 6 PM to 12 midnight. Maximum number of victims died on spot. Linear fracture was the commonest type of skull fracture & combination of subdural haemorrhage with  subarachnoid haemorrhage was the commonest intracranial haemorrhage.
