title: [The clinical manifestations of craniocerebral trauma in elderly patients].
abstract: It has been shown that over the recent 20 years the number of senile patients with a history of craniocerebral injury rose from 4.8 to 7.2% whereas in the group over 60, from 53 to 72%. In the course of "mild" craniocerebral injury, 21% of senile patients manifested secondary acute disorders of brain circulation that not infrequently eventuated in lethal outcomes. Of paramount importance in the clinical manifestation of craniocerebral injury in senile age is the growing deterioration of brain circulation rather than the rise of intracranial pressure.
