title: [Classification of head injuries based on computerized tomography: prognostic value].
abstract: A new classification system for head injury based on the findings of computerized tomography was used in a population of 809 head injured patients. The system emphasizes the status of mesencephalic cisterns, the degree of midline shift and the presence or absence of mass lesions, allowing high risk patients to be identified and outcome to be predicted.
