Brain damage in fatal non-missile head injury without high intracranial pressure.
As part of a comprehensive study of brain damage in 635 fatal non-missile head injuries, the type and prevalence of brain damage occurring in the absence of high intracranial pressure were analysed. Of 71 such cases, 53 sustained their injury as a result of a road traffic accident; only 25 experienced a lucid interval. Thirty eight had a fractured skull, a mean total contusion index of 12.9 and...

Ischaemic damage was found in the brains of 92% of the 1968-72 cases and in 88% of the 1981-82 cases:...

متن کاملDeep intracerebral (basal ganglia) haematomas in fatal non-missile head injury in man.
Deep intracerebral (basal ganglia) haematomas were found post mortem in 63 of 635 fatal non-missile head injuries. In patients with a basal ganglia haematoma, contusions were more severe, there was a reduced incidence of a lucid interval, and there was an increased incidence of road traffic accidents, gliding contusions and diffuse axonal injury than in patients without this type of haematoma. ...
