[Cranio-cerebral injury and intraocular pressure]

In 102 patients with cranio-cerebral trauma the intra-ocular pressure was measured. Values of the intra-ocular pressure showed a falling tendency in patients with grade-I trauma during the first 5 days. On the 30th day normal values had been regained. In grade-II and III traumata starting readings were lower and rose again about 3 days after the injury. In no case a glaucoma could be traced. In 4 patients with grade III cranio-cerebral trauma the reaction of the intraocular pressure is similar to that occurring before death.
