Abstract The incidence of cranial nerve injury following acute head injury is significant (17.6%). The most common mode of trauma resulting in cranial nerve injuries was RTA. CT brain and 3D CT skull are the gold standards for diagnosis. The facial and abducent nerves are the most commonly affected cranial nerves. Conservative measures are the ideal method for management with a good prognosis towards complete recovery. Complete recovery was significantly higher in female patients, young age, and single cranial Nerve affection. Younger age and female sex are independent predictors of complete recovery. We recommend further studies with a large sample size, prospective, multicentric, more variants and more clear, reliable data. |
