[Traumatic hydrocephalus in children in CT images]. / Pourazowe wodoglowie u dzieci w obrazowaniu TK.

CT examinations were performed on 38 children who had suffered from perinatal trauma or a later injury. The recognised changes were classified as early or distant consequences of sustained head trauma. Special attention was paid to the time elapsing from the moment of injury to the occurrence of hydrocephalus and to the evolution of changes observed in the check-up CT examinations. The occurrence of zones of diminished periventricular density was correlated with the results of fluid drainage therapy. Atrophic changes of the cerebral nervous tissues were analysed in combination with the development of porencephalic traumatic fluid cavities.
