title: [Cranio-abdominal injury].
abstract: Cranioabdominal trauma (CAT) is one of the most severe forms of combined injury, in which the mortality rises up to 80%. Four principle factors in diagnosis and treatment of CAT are noted. The absence or noncomplete volume of the aid provided in the before hospitalization period causes unsatisfactory result of treatment in 30% of injured persons. Instrumental methods of investigation play the main role in CAT diagnosis. The informativity of laparocentesis in the closed abdominal trauma constitutes 98%. Operative intervention is performed under the support of antishock intensive therapy. When an urgent operation conduction is necessary it is performed by two teams of surgeons.
