Summary
A review of sequential CT examinations on 87 acute nonpenetrating head injury patients with traumatic hemorrhagic lesions has revealed a difference in location and in time course for change in density and mass effect between intracerebral hematoma, hemorrhagic contusion, and diffuse white matter shearing injury.
