A patient having Glasgow score of 12 is suffering from
Minor head injury
Mild head injury
Moderate head injury

Severity of head injury is classified according to the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), as the GCS – and in particular the motor score – is the best predictor of neurological outcome:
- Minor head injury: GCS 15 with no loss of consciousness (LOC);
- Mild head injury: GCS 14 or 15 with LOC;
- Moderate head injury: GCS 9–13;
- Severe head injury: GCS 3–8.
