Intravascular coagulation: a common phenomenon in minor experimental head injury.
Fibrin microthrombi were demonstrated by an immunoenzymehistochemical method in the small blood vessels of the lung and, to a lesser extent, in the brain in rats after minor experimental head injury. It was concluded that intravascular coagulation is a common phenomenon in head injury.
