Abstract: Background. Traumatic brain injury remains a major cause of mortality and long-term disability, particularly among the working-age population. One of the most severe complications of TBI is the development of intracranial hematomas, where timely diagnosis is crucial for patient survival.Objective. To analyze the clinical and radiological features of traumatic intracranial hematomas among residents of Samarkand using computed tomography data.Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of CT scans from 14 patients with traumatic brain injury examined under emergency conditions was performed. Hematoma type, localization, density characteristics, mass effect, and demographic parameters were evaluated.Results. Subdural hematomas predominated (57.1%) compared to epidural hematomas (42.8%). The majority of cases occurred in young and middle-aged males. Subdural hematomas most frequently involved the left cerebral hemisphere, while epidural hematomas were predominantly localized in the frontal region.Conclusion. Computed tomography is the primary diagnostic modality for traumatic intracranial hematomas, allowing rapid identification of life-threatening conditions and guiding timely therapeutic decision-making.
