title: [Volume dynamics of contusion foci of the cerebrum].
abstract: Of 740 patients with severe contusions of the brain a group of patients with expansion of the contusion foci was differentiated. In 31.8% of the patients, the contusion foci were localized in the polar-basal portions of the frontal and/or temporal lobes and in 2.5% of patients on the convex surface of the large hemispheres and penetrated into the white matter. Clinical variants of the course of expansion processes of contusion foci are described. The craniographic, echoencephalographic and angiographic characteristics of the damaged brain are also presented. Expansion of contusion foci of the large hemispheres is documented pathomorphologically. A correlation was found between the manifestations of expansion of the contusion foci and their structural characteristics.
