Abstract
This chapter will outline the importance of the role that cerebral blood flow (CBF) has in predicting and ultimately mediating outcome following head trauma. Particular focus will be placed on how CBF is regulated in the brain both in normal and pathological situations. Furthermore, the vasodilators and constrictors will be discussed. Finally, this chapter will discuss how CBF influences other pathologies associated with head trauma.
