Strokes and Head Injury

Abstract

SUMMARY:This is a report of a series of patients who suffered major cerebral hemorrhage or infarction complicating industrial head injuries. The variable importance of trauma and of pre-existing vascular disease is exemplified. Accuracy of assessment of such complex problems is facilitated by modern applied neuroscientific techniques.
