Brain damage in fatal non-missile head injury.
Brain damage in a series of 635 fatal non-missile head injuries has been analysed with particular reference to the age of the patient and the type of injury. The differences in the type of brain damage in relation to age were less than we had anticipated, lending further support to the contention that the aged brain has a reduced potential for recovery. The analysis confirms the relationship be...
متن کاملIschaemic brain damage is still common in fatal non-missile head injury.
A detailed neuropathological examination has been undertaken on a consecutive series of head injuries dying in the Institute of Neurological Sciences, Glasgow, between 1968-72 (151 cases) and 1981-82 (112 cases) in order to determine the frequency and distribution of any ischaemic brain damage. Ischaemic damage was found in the brains of 92% of the 1968-72 cases and in 88% of the 1981-82 cases:...
متن کاملBrain 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...
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. ...
متن کاملSecondary ischaemic brain damage after head injury.
When the brain is examined within a few days of injury it can be surprisingly difficult to establish what has been the cause of death, or to determine with certainty which lesions are primary and which are secondary, apart from clear-cut complications such as intracranial haematoma or infection. Recent reports of continuous measurements of intracranial pressure after head injury (Lundberg, Trou...
