Abstract:
The authors analyzed 115 cases of head injury surgically treated in the Department of Neurosurgery, Yonsei University Medical College, in 1978. Among them, 18 patients had another significant combined injury in the body. Mortality of them was twice more than of the group without combined injury. Protection of brain from circulatory disturbance, hypoxia, fat embolism, etc. is chief point of early treatment of multiply injured patients. The most common cause of multiple injuries involving head injuries was traffic accident. Mortality of the group diagnosed with CT scan was lowest. Intervals between the injury and operation were within 24 hours in almost them.
