[The pathogenesis of increased intracranial pressure as a sequels of closed cranio-cerebral injury].

The results of investigations (roentgenological, isotopic, CSL-dynamics) made in 377 patients are reported. It has been ascertained that at the root of pathogenesis of intracranial pressure disturbances consequent upon cerebro-cranial traumas lie pathological changes in the ependyma and meninges, which lead to derangements of the hemo- and CSF-dynamics. At least four mechanisms particpate in their pathogenesis, viz 1) reduced resorptive capacity of the meninges; 2) partical occlusion on the routes of the CSF outflow; 3) dilatation of intracranial and diploic veins; 4) increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
