Closed craniocerebral injury

Abstract

From 1970 to 1980, 14,099 patients were admitted to the neurosurgery department of the 15th City Hospital in Kazan, of which 4,358 (30.9%) people were operated on for injuries. We conducted a survey of the victims in 1979. In total, 1,442 people with traumatic brain injury were hospitalized during the year, 748 of them (51.9%) with concussion,' 182 (12,6%)--- with a brain contusion, not complicated by intracranial hemorrhage. As can be seen, concussions and bruises of the brain prevail, amounting to 64.5%. Of the above-mentioned contingent of victims, only one patient died, who had a brain contusion (clinical diagnosis) on the background of a fracture of the cranial vault and the base of the brain at the autopsy.
