Abstract
Recent evidence provided by CT scans has shown that the secondary clinical deterioration after acute head injury (HI) is not always associated with decreased density reflecting increased tissue water content [7, 15]. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the deterioration process occurring secondary to HI.
