[Clinical picture and diagnosis of mild craniocerebral injuries during alcoholic intoxication].

The authors analysed 273 cases with brain contusion suffered in a state of acute alcohol intoxication. It was found that alcohol intoxication alters its clinical picture considerably. The dependence of the neurological symptoms on the degree and phase of alcohol intoxication is shown. Statistical processing of the information obtained allowed the most informative neurological symptoms of brain injury to be revealed. The significance of additional examination methods for the diagnosis is discussed. A dependence of the rheographic indices in brain injury on the phase of concomitant alcohol intoxication is demonstrated.
