BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Traumatic brain injuries represent an important cause of
death for young people. The main objectives of this work are to correlate brain stem injuries …

We retrospectively evaluated the MRI from 17 patients with primary brain stem injury
obtained in the acute stage. Clinical and radiological findings were analyzed in these 17 …

The clinical benefit of early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in severe and moderate
head injury is unclear. We sought to explore the prognostic value of the depth of lesions …

Object. In 1991 a new pioneering classification of severe head injuries had been proposed,
based on CT findings. Unfortunately CT cannot visualise all lesions. Especially brain stem …

Purpose The objective of this work is two-fold: to determine the role of MRI findings in
establishing the prognosis of patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) …

Object Magnetic resonance imaging is frequently used to evaluate patients with traumatic
brain injury in the acute and subacute setting, and it can detect injuries to the brainstem …

Eighty-seven patients with acute (n= 70) or chronic (n= 17) head injuries were prospectively
studied with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT) to …

While computed tomography (CT) is the appropriate technique for the urgent detection of
hematomas and contusions in the cerebral hemispheres, it is much less effective at …

AIM: Computerized tomography (CT) has been the primary diagnostic instrument of
neurosurgical centers for head injury until now. However, there is a subgroup of patients …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional outcome in patients with minor head injury with
neurocranial traumatic findings on CT is largely unknown. We hypothesized that certain CT …
