[Pneumoencephalographic picture of changes in the cerebrospinal fluid containing spaces of patients who have suffered severe craniocerebral injuries]. 1978

V V Lebedev, and Iu I Korol'kov

Dynamic X-ray follow-ups were conducted after pneumo-encephalography (PEG) of 28 patients who had suffered a severe craniocerebral trauma (intracranial hematoma, crushing of the brain), and those suffering from a post-traumatic disease of the brain. PEG was carried out in periods from 3 months to 3 years after the trauma had occurred. X-ray control was established immediately after the endolumbar infusion of air into the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid spaces, and subsequently every 24 hours till the complete disappearance of air from the ventricles of the brain. Investigation showed that in most cases a more reliable picture of the size of the ventricles can be obtained not on the day that PEG is performed, but in remoter periods (24--48 hours). The internal hydrocephaly that occurs in most patients is evidently of aresorptive character. The expansion of subarachnoidal spaces, rather than their obliteration, is more characteristic of a traumatic disease of the brain, including post-traumatic epilepsy. These changes, however, are not pathognomonic for a complicated severe craniocerebral trauma.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.
