[Current problems in organizing medical care for those with minor closed brain trauma]

The approach to the management of slight nonpenetrating cerebral casualties must be seriously revised in order to repudiate the idea to consider these traumas as "the last residual element". Multiple defects in diagnosis and treatment of such trauma interconnect with various posttraumatic syndromes, which can be disclosed by close examination. Frequently the postcontusional disorders occur in this category of wounded because of their classification as "minor casualties". The prevention of scar and commissure processes, atrophies, hypertensive or hydrocephalic disorders, as well as diminishing of incapacitation rate could be achieved by improved methods of treatment, opportune application of modern diagnostical facilities, and broad clinical experience gained in field conditions. Nevertheless, many organizational problems of diagnosis and treatment have no clear-cut decisions and need further scientific researches.
