RESUMO
Repeated CT-scans and neurological examinations in 59 patients with severe closed head injuries showed that in the acute post-traumatic phase the CT gives no reliable evidence of the degree of brain damage and that during the following period an increase of pathological CT-findings is to be expected, some of which have to be operated on. Prognosis about the course of illness can hardly be given on the basis of the CT in the early stage, but worsening of the findings in controls later on indicates a bad prognosis especially in patients with multifocal or bilateral lesions in the initial CT.
