Abstract
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a common cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. They are the most common cause of death and permanent disability in the early decades of life. Approximately 1.7 million people are affected by TBI in the USA every year, out of which 275,000 patients are admitted. TBI leads to approximately 52,000 deaths annually in the USA [1, 2]. The victims vary widely with regard to their etiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and optimal treatment strategies.
