The retrospectively collected database includes information on age, sex, mechanism of injury, initial Glasgow Coma Scale score. Results: The age of patients varied from 15 to 84 years. The medium average of investigated patients was 49,5 years. This study included 468 cases with 304 (65%) males and 164 (35%) females. Road traffic crashes are the leading cause of TBI, which consist (47.86%). Accidents at home and aggression also occupies an important place in etilogy of head injury (16.88% and 14.1% respectively). Seasonal distribution analysis of traumatic brain injury shows an increased rate of head injury during winter (per season) - 35.89% with the largest spread in February (per month) - 14.74%. The vast majority of patients showed a higher GCS 8 (63.03%). The remaining patients were in coma (36.96%) with a GCS less than 8, GCS 3 – 4 - 10.89%; GCS 5-6 - 10.47%; GCS 7 – 8 - 15.59%.
