Computer-tomographical features of craniocerebral trauma with different genesis

Analysis of the results of computer tomography (CT) of 247 patients with craniocerebral and mine-explosive trauma with different degree of damage in acute and distant period was provided. Authors revealed, that in acute period of craniocerebral trauma CT may detect different kinds of zones of concussion damage including bilateral damage. Atrophic process, mostly diffusive, may develop in distant period. Both ventricular system as well as subarachnoid space may be involved. Mostly severe atrophic cerebral changes are revealed due to third and fourth types of focal concussion damage of the brain. Mine-explosive damage of the brain is not visualized by CT-scanning in acute period. Generalized type of posttraumatic cerebral atrophy is revealed in patients with disease in distant period.
