Cutaneous Impact Location Predicts Intracranial Injury Among the Elderly Population with Traumatic Brain Injury.

The CIL of head injury is a predictor of intracranial lesions among geriatric patients with traumatic brain injury. Physicians should be aware of this association when assessing elderly patients with head injuries. More studies are needed to develop a clinical management tool incorporating CIL to guide the diagnosis of TBI in this population.
