[Ocular signs in coma caused by cranial injury].
Following a short introduction on the value of ocular symptoms in traumatized patients based upon the literature, the A. describes his case material comprising 10 cases of severe cranial-encephalic traumatisms with coma. According to the A., the investigation in patients with cranial traumatisms in coma of the reflex eye motility (research of statokynetic movements) and of the movements obtained by vestibular stimulation with cold water offers useful elements for localization of the lesion and for prognosis.
