The Denver Screening Criteria are divided into risk factors and signs and symptoms

Signs and Symptoms

  • Focal neurologic deficit
  • Arterial Hemorrhage
  • Cervical Bruit or Thrill (<50yo)
  • Infarct on Head CT
  • Expanding Neck Hematoma
  • Neuro exam inconsistent with Head CT

Risk Factors

  • Midface Fractures (Le Fort II or III)
  • Basilar Skull Fracture with carotid canal involvement
  • Diffuse axonal injury with GCS<6
  • Cervical spine fracture
  • Hanging with anoxic brain injury
  • Seat belt abrasion or other soft tissue injury of the anterior neck resulting in significant swelling or altered mental status
    • Isolated seatbelt sign without other neurologic symptoms has not been identified as a risk factor[1][2]
