title: [Routine gastric fiber endoscopy in severe head injuries].
abstract: Gastric lesions in severe cranial trauma are almost constant, whether the patients have bled or not. Routine fiber endoscopy in 63 cases permited the authors to discover various types of lesion, some in association, whether diffuse or localised, e.g. oedema or congestion, viz. congestion, purpura, various sized ulcers, usually situated high up in the stomach, sometimes in the antrum ; their course, whether rapid or not, was often intermittent. Endoscopy is the best method of diagnosis permitting appropriate treatment.
