Correspondence MS 21215 – Role of Repeat Head CT in patients with mild traumatic intracranial injury

We appreciate the comments by (Trevisi and Scerrati [1]) regarding timing of repeat head CT scan (RHCT) in patients with mild traumatic intracranial hemorrhage in our paper [2] published in AJEM It had been our practice to perform RHCT at 6 hours to ensure that there had been no interval progression, unless the patient had a coagulopathy that required reversal; in those cases a RHCT was done once there was documented correction of the bleeding disorder (in our cohort this meant either vitamin K, and FFP or PCC) or a platelet transfusion.
