[Diagnosis and treatment of brain contusions in patients with arterial hypertension].

From comparative analysis of 408 cases of brain contusion it is shown that arterial hypertension influences, essentially at times, the informativeness of some diagnostic indices. The sequence of the therapeutic measures in patients with arterial hypertension is determined by the trend of the secondary reactions of the brain to the contusion: the hemorrhagic type of vascular disorders in the first hours and days after the trauma and subsequently by secondary (mainly ischemic type) cerebral circulatory disorders.
