  • Title: [Secondary blood coagulation disturbances after severe head injuries (author's transl)].
    Author: Mauersberger W.
    Journal: Neurochirurgia (Stuttg); 1979 Mar; 22(2):68-72. PubMed ID: 440517.
    Abstract:
    The release of tissue thromboplastin after a severe brain injury can lead to a consumption coagulopathy. In a group of 83 patients with severe brain injury, platelet count, fibrinogen, prothrombin, partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time were investigated. The pathological laboratory findings in 14 were compatible with a consumption coagulopathy. These alterations were demonstrated during the first hours following trauma and represented an extra handicap for the patients who had to be treated surgically.
