Abstract

Introduction. Secondary posttraumatic changes in the brain often determine the clinical flow during traumatic brain injury (TBI). Prevention and early detection of secondary hemorrhagic progression (SHP) is very important  for determination of the treatment strategy in patients with brain contusion.

We studied the dynamic of brain contusion and its impact on the clinical course of brain injury. We found that the secondary hemorrhagic progression of contusion occurs in 43% and can be detected at the place of primary brain damage, and far away from it, and often can be seen in patients with a subdural hematoma. The larger contusion has the greater probability of progression and needs for surgical decompression. Progression is associated with the significant risk of clinical deterioration and mortality.

Conclusions. Treatment tactics depends on severity of volumetric effect on the surrounding brain structures and manifestations of herniation syndrome.

Key words: traumatic brain injury, brain contusion, secondary hemorrhagic progression of contusion.
