The paper focuses on analysis of incidence of neurotrauma in economically underdeveloped country such as Republic of Guinea. It is found that leading etiology of central nervous system injuries are road accidents and indoor traumatism. Investigation of system of medical care revealed its poor condition and severe defects which prevent practical application of evidence-based recommendations for management of traumatic brain injury in underdeveloped countries including Republic of Guinea. Development of multiplanar strategy of control of neurotrauma is required which can be achieved only in case of massive governmental and international aid.
