Abstract
Up to now, the classification of head injuries has been based on the initial clinical signs and the subsequent progress. The real extent of a traumatic brain lesion cannot be detected exactly by the conventional investigations such as echo ECG, x-rays, or cerebral angiography. Using computerized Tomography (CT), intracranial hemorrhages and contusional lesions can be distinguished. Therefore, a correlation between clinical syndromes and morphologic lesions seems to be possible.
