EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

Head injuries in intoxicated patients are a challenge for the treating clinician. A reliable assessment can be jeopardized by a lack of communication and missing evidence of the trauma circumstances. A high degree of suspicion is required to decide which patient should be referred to further imaging as time is crucial for the prognosis in intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). We present cases with unexpected results following a suspected head trauma where the circumstances were unclear.
