We demonstrate that in head injuries the degree of cerebral endothelial activation or injury depends on the type of brain injury and the patients age, and that in severe head injuries measuring the serum levels of thrombomodulin (TM) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) is useful in evaluating cerebral endothelial injury and activation. The values of vWF in the cases of focal brain injury were signi...
