Abstract
Routine repeat head CT in patients with complicated mild TBI is very low yield to predict need for delayed surgical intervention. Instead, serial neurologic examination and observation over the first 8 hours after the injury is recommended. A second CT scan should be obtained only in patients who have neurologic worsening.
