[Neurosonography in the diagnosis of brain pathology in severe cranio-cerebral trauma]

The paper analyzes neurosonographic studies of 66 patients with severe brain injury, which were carried out through the diagnostic cutting opening in 19 patients, intraoperatively in 26 and postoperatively in 21. They provided evidence for tomographic characteristics of various types of brain injuries and their dynamics were followed up in acute and subacute brain injuries. Neurosonographic signs of ventricular hemorrhage and temporotentorial wedging are described. The paper also indicates the informative value of dynamic neurosonographic monitoring in patients with severe brain injury in order to define treatment policy.
