ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relations between the site of head injury and the position of brain edema induced tentorial notch herniation (TNH). Method The formalin fixed brain specimens of 91 cases were cut either coronally, or sagittally or horizontally, according to different requirement. Then, the characteristics of injury were observed. Results There were three types of brain edema induced TNH after cerebral injury 65 cases with anterior herniation (71.4%), 5 cases with posterior herniation (5.5%), and 21 cases with unilateral or bilateral total herniation (23.1%). Anterior herniation was notable among 16 cases with total herniation. Conclusion Frontotemporal anterior herniation was the most common type of TNH after cerebral injury. The occurrence of TNH was related to the site and manner of injury, as well as the strength of force and survival interval after injury.
