title: [The delayed traumatic intracerebral haematomas].
abstract: The results of CT observation of 378 inpatients with head injury were reported. 46 delayed traumatic intracerebral haematomas (DTICH) patients were found to have 71 haematomas. The incidence of DTICH was 12.2%. 80.7% of DTICH patients were noted 48 hours after injury. Most of them were young and middle aged persons. The places of baematomas were at the injured zones. The intracranial pressure continous monitor is useful to judge the DTICH during the early stage. Surgical operation is proposed for the patients with many haematomas and displaced central tissue. The haematomas should be cleansed for the frequently occurring haematoma patients. The death rate of the example was 17.4%, which was lower than 44%-71% reported elsewhere.
