The aim of the study is to develop a finite element model postmortem heat exchange head in presence an open penetrating traumatic brain injury and assess degree its influence on temperature field this area body. Using ELCUT 6.5 application, based method, modeling geometry anatomical structures human absence wound associated intracranial membrane hemorrhages was carried out. A twodimensional fin...

Penetrating landmine injuries are the unavoidable consequences of military conflicts. They are potentially life-threatening. The mortality rates in the literature range from 23% to 92% and are considerably higher in patients admitted with poor neurologic state. Penetrating craniocerebral injuries require early surgical management designated to prevent infection and remove foreign objects, necro...

For the clinical diagnosis of non-accidental craniocerebral trauma in children there are different recommendations and guidelines, which are not completely consistent. Depending on the examiner, the focus may be on therapeutic relevance, minimization of the exposure to radiation or potential conclusions as to the course of events. Under certain circumstances it may be difficult for the responsi...

Non-missile intracranial injuries caused by foreign bodies are quite uncommon in civilian practice. Nails, knives, screwdrivers and sewing needles are the most commonly reported agents. The authors report a unique case of an adult male patient who suffered a penetrating craniocerebral injury caused by a falling concrete reinforcing iron (rebar) from the fourth floor of a buildin...

Blunt or nonpenetrating trauma to the head and neck occasionally results in damage to the cervical segment of the internal carotid artery. This may produce neurologic signs and symptoms that mimic acute craniocerebral injury. The mortality and morbidity associated with these injuries are alarmingly high. These injuries may be missed if one relies only on computed tomography. Angiography is stil...

The leading causes of trauma to the major craniocerebral vessels include penetrating and non penetrating trauma [1 , 2]. Because the vertebral artery is confined to the incomplete bony canal formed by the successive foramina in the transverse processes of the upper cervical vertebrae, it is less susceptible to penetrating injury than is the carotid artery [2]. A review of the literature has unc...
