Craniocerebral trauma is a condition encountered all too often in Pakistan, leading to death that may be avoidable. We report an autopsy study of 67 fatal head injuries with autopsies performed to reveal the cause of death. The type and distribution of the craniocerebral trauma, its aetiology and associated injuries are discussed. Most of the deaths in our series occurred due to large extradural haematomas, very few having associated severe primary brain injury. This suggests that there is a need to improve the referral and neurosurgical services to reduce the fatality due to craniocerebral injury.
