Abstract
Here, we describe the pathogenesis, treatment recommendations and surgical considerations pertaining to epidural haematomas, acute subdural haematomas, traumatic intracerebral haematomas, cerebral contusions and traumatic lesions in the posterior fossa. Indications and methods for surgery are based on guidelines from the Brain Trauma Foundation and the expert opinion of the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee.
