Abstract

Retrospective analysis of cranio—cerebral trauma (CCT) in 141 injured persons, ageing (38.3 ± 14.3) yrs at average, severity of which in accordance to Glasgow scale was estimated in 13 — 15 points, was performed. The injured persons were managed in accordance to actual recommendations of Ministry of Health of Ukraine. In accordance to CT data, the brain commotion was noted in 40 patients, the brain contusion type І — in 25, the brain contusion type ІІ with the skull fornix fracture — in 30, with linear fracture of the skull bones and traumatic hematomas into the brain—tunics — in 30, with fracture of the temporal bone pyramid — in 16. In indices 14 points and less (in accordance to Glasgow scale) in terms up to 24 h after CCT and absence of alcohol intoxication in 76.9% injured persons in accordance to CT data the intracranial traumatic affections were revealed. In indices of 15 points in 21% of injured persons false—negative results were determined, witnessing disparity of CCT signs with a CT data.
