Quantification and analysis of brain contusion was initially done in 1970’s followed by 2005. They derived brain contusion index based on parenchymal depth and surface distribution of contusion over brain. We conducted this study with the objectives of whether severity of contusion index determines Post trauma survival, is there a region specific contusion which determines Post trauma survival ...

AIM Traditional surgical strategies for severe brain contusion are constantly associated with variable degree of postoperative neurological dysfunction, which is in part attributed to the location and severity of contusion. The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate these current surgical strategies, with an emphasis on neurological function preservation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A ret...
