ABSTRACT
Sixty-four severely head injured patients with absence of basal cisterns on initial CT scan were studied from January 1986 to March 1989. None had good recovery at 6 months follow-up period. The result from logistic regression analysis pointed to the GCS at 24 hours following injury as an independent, significant outcome predictor. Conventional treatment is not suitable for these patients. Earlier and more aggressive therapy should improve their outcome.
