Introduction: Cranial trauma is a serious medico-surgical pathology that hinders the vital and functional prognosis. The Rotterdam computed tomography (CT) score refined features of the Marshall score. This score was designed to categorize traumatic brain injury (TBI) type and severity in adults. The aim of our research was to evaluate the association between the Rotterdam CT scores of patients after a cranial traumatism in terms of survival. Material and methods: It was a cross-sectional and analytical study from January 2018 to March 2020, using medical records of patients suffering from cranial traumatism, received and taken in charge in the Yaounde central hospital. Results: 100 patients were retained out of 115 recruited patients. The average age was 35.20 with a sex ratio of 4.55. The Rotterdam score was between 1 and 5 with a median of 2. The overall mortality at 6 months and 1 year was 32%. With an equal score compared to European studies, we recorded significantly higher mortality. We found the sequelae in 24% of the patients. GOS ranged from 1 to 5, and survival without sequelae (GOS 1) was the most represented. There was a positive correlation between the Rotterdam score and the GOS with a Pearson correlation coefficient of +0.514. Conclusion: The death rate in Rotterdam score equals is greater in our context compared to European studies.
