Abstract:
74 cases of the aged severe craniocerebral injury were presented in this paper, which accounts for 11.9% of the severe craniocerebral injury for the period. Among them, 28 cases died with a morta-lity of 37.8%. The mortality amounts to 51.4% in intracranial hematoma cases. 5 cases over 70 years all died. The reaction capacity becomes lower in old people, so that in craniocerebral injury the early clinical manifestations are difficult to represent the truth.Close observation and the early accurate diag-nosis are rather important. Attention should be paid to the multiple injuries and severe medical con-ditions. Some factors such as early clearance of the intracranial hematoma and prevention of com-plications and hypotension during an operation may reduce the mortality.Prognosis may be affected by such factors as the severity of the primary, injury, the compound injuty, complications, age and the deficiency in cerebral blood supply after cranio-cerebral injury.
