title: [Computerized tomography in post-traumatic cerebral lesions (author's transl)].
abstract: A review of 108 cases of cranial injury, dating back for more than three months, and having had computerized tomography examinations, revealed 96 abnormalities in the results. These included overall, 65 times, and localized, 20 times, ventricular dilatations, generalized atrophy 27 times, porencephaly 27 times, enlargement of the sylvian fossa 28 times, chronic subdural hematomas 8 times, intracranial calcification 3 times, meningiomas 3 times, and a cerebral abscess in 1 patient. The computerized tomography results were normal in 12 patients. Very good correlations were found between clinical and computerized tomography results in patients with psychic disturbances and disorders of the higher centers. They were variable in cases of epilepsy and neurological deficiency states. The greatest number of normal results was found in so-called subjective syndromes.
