It is shown that in the recent 2 decades the incidence of craniocerebral trauma increased from 4.8 to 7.2% among old-aged individuals and from 53 to 72% in the group of patients over 60. The dynamics of changes in the clinical course of mild craniocerebral trauma in 21% of old-aged patients were marked by secondary acute cerebral circulatory disorders which often led to a fatal outcome. Mortality rate in craniocerebral trauma at old age was 52.3%.
