[Computer tomographic picture of the cerebral ventricles of patients with severe craniocerebral injuries].
The computer-tomographic picture of the brain was studied in 80 patients with severe closed craniocerebral trauma. Changes in the ventricles demonstrated on the tomograms are described. They comprised diffuse dilation of the ventricles in acute and chronic traumatic hydrocephalus, and displacement of the midline, deformity and compression of the ventricular system in intracranial hematomas. On the basis of displacement of the lateral ventricles and median structures of the brain, the author attempts to objectify the degree of the severity of the patients' condition and prognosticate the outcome of the craniocerebral trauma.
