  • Title: [Cerebral contusions in injuries with fractures of the bones of the skull in children].
    Author: Sumerkina MM, Berestov AI, Tsakhilov IZ.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1985; 85(6):888-95. PubMed ID: 4024814.
    Abstract:
    The authors analyzed 205 cases of skull fractures in children. Linear, depressed and comminuted skull fractures as well as ruptures of the cranial commissures were revealed. Skull fractures in children were characterized by specific features depending on the age, type of fractures and the mechanism of injury and were always attended with contusions of the brain. To determine the degree of brain contusions, the authors carried out a comprehensive examination with the use of electrophysiological and modern laboratory methods (determination of blood plasma prostaglandins).
