[Clinical characteristics of repeated cranio-cerebral injury]

The clinical manifestations of repeated craniocerebral injury indicate that repeated brain injury is a graver form of traumatic disease of the brain. As compared to the primary injury, patients with repeated craniocerebral injury manifest more pronounced general cerebral, focal hemispheric symptomatology. In such patients, stem symptoms are also encountered more often. Analysis of 163 cases has demonstrated that the clinical manifestations of repeated craniocerebral injury depend on the gravity of the primary and repeated brain injury, age of the victims and by the rate of repeated injuries.
