Value of Radiological Diagnosis of Skull Fracture in the Management of Mild Head Injury: Meta-Analysis
JNNP 68:416-422,403, Hofman,P.A.M.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Most patients sustain a mild head injury (MHI), and management depends on the risk of an intracranial haemorrhage (ICH). The value of a plain skull radiograph as a screening tool for ICH is controversial. The plain skull radiograph is of little value in the initial assessment of MHI patients.
