EPILEPSY AFTER BLUNT HEAD INJURIES

Predicting Epilepsy after Blunt Head Injury.

Traumatic epilepsy after closed head injuries.

It has long been known that epilepsy may follow injury to the head. The relationship between the two events has been worked out in some detail for missile wounds of the head by Wagstaffe (1928), Ascroft (1941), and Russell and Whitty (1952), to mention but a few of many such studies, the opportunities for which were provided by the two world wars. The well-defined injury made study precise, and...

Isolated Duodenal Injuries After Blunt Abdominal Trauma.

Isolated duodenal injury after blunt abdominal trauma is a very rare entity. In contrast to penetrating injuries, duodenal injuries after blunt trauma are difficult to diagnose. Early diagnosis and management is required to prevent high morbidity and mortality associated with these injuries. We present three young patients of blunt abdominal trauma with an isolated injury to duodenum in which p...

Biomechanical Aspects of Blunt and Penentrating Head Injuries

The objective of this presentation is to discuss certain biomechanical aspects of head injuries due to blunt and penetrating impacts. Emphasis is given to fundamental data leading to injury criteria used in the United States (US) regulations for motor vehicle safety. Full-scale and component tests done under US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are described. In addition, results p...
