Objective: Brain trauma is an extremely important economical and social issue withincreasing daily incidence. It is important to observe and report brain trauma, in order toprovide better conditions for improvement of the trauma prevention and management. Methods: A ten-year retrospective observational analysis was performed on 292 (fatal andnon-fatal) incidents of traumatic brain injury among 2,847 totally examined cases in therecords of the laboratory of forensic sciences at Democritus University of Thrace betweenJanuary 1, 2007 and December 31, 2016. The results were further analyzed and classifed intopertinent categories associated with the purpose of the study. Results: The average age was estimated at 47.24 years with an obvious male domination. The most common cause of TBI, according to the results, is transport accidents (61.85%)followed by trauma inﬂicted by blunt instrument (22.49%), fall from height (11.65%) andoccupational accidents (4.02%). Mortality rates were evaluated for each type, revealingextremely disturbing numbers. Regarding the anatomical localization on the skull, the mostcommon region of cranial fractures is the cranial base (16.48%), followed by the frontal(12.87%), occipital (11.29%) and parietal bones (11.06%). In the majority of the cases, therewere associated injuries. Conclusion: The management of traumatic brain injuries is difcult and sometimesimpossible. Better prevention measures are required to minimize as much as possible theincidence of brain trauma.
