[Neurogenic lesions of the lungs in severe craniocerebral trauma]

The role of sympathicotonia in the development of neurogenic edema of the lungs in patients with the craniocerebral trauma (CCT) was confirmed experimentally. Morphological examinations of the lungs in 12 people who died from CCT have revealed the stage-wise character of the development of neurodystrophic alterations in the air-conducting and respiratory parts, up to the development of denervation.
