Computer tomographical analysis of central cerebral haemorrhage resulting from closed head injury.
In a series of 819 patients with recent closed head injuries, 20 cases were found to exhibit traumatic central brain haemorrhage analogous to spontaneous central brain haemorrhage in computed tomography. Computed tomographical findings, clinical evolution and the predictable course of these 20 patients have been reviewed. 7 patients died (35% mortality rate).
