[Clinico-anatomic correlations in traumatic ventricular hemorrhage]

A total of 265 patients with intracerebroventricular hemorrhages were investigated for correlation between clinical manifestations and craniographic, echoencephaloscopic and cerebral angiographic data and brain pathomorphology. Intracerebroventricular hemorrhages were found in cases of severe craniocerebral trauma complicated, as a rule, with skull bones fractures, polar-basal cantusional foci, and intracerebral (rarely meningeal) hematomas. Relationship was established between the severity of craniocerebral lesions and intesites of intracerebroventricular hemorrhages which varied in character depending on the volume of adjacent intracerebral hemorrhage and the area covered by contusional polar-basal foci.
