title: [Dynamics of cerebral circulation on the basis of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography evaluation in patients with moderate and minor head injury].
abstract: Patients with moderate and minor head injury were evaluated with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and the relationship was studied between traumatic vasospasm (TVSP) and hyperaemia and the patients' age, clinical state, head CT examination and long-term results of treatment. The group examined consisted of 45 patients. The results obtained in this group were compared with the results in the control group. TVSP was observed in about 20% while hyperaemia occurred in 25% of the cases. Traumatic vasospasm in transcranial Doppler ultrasonography was found to occur most often in the group of patients with subdural or intracerebral haematomas.
