With a population of 2,000,000 inhabitants, the Dong Nai province is situated on the National Roads N0 1-20 -15 and therefore the rate of traffic accidents was higher and higher. Since 1994 with the help of Cho Ray hospital, neurosurgery for cranio-cerebral trauma is carried out in Dong Nai hospital. This report summarized the situation of neuro-surgery after two years and half.

Basing on statistics of head trauma during the period 1991-1996, the authors stress on the increasing number of patients from year to year. They put on remarks about the organisation of head trauma emergency, which is an acute problem to be solved.

In the whole country and especially in Tien Giang province, traffic accidents are more and more frequent. During 2 years, from 01/1994 to 09/1995, there were 2615 cases of head trauma hospitalised in our service, in which: emergency surgery: 64 cases transfer to the higher level: 139 cases. Treated at the internal department: 2412 cases. The rate of mortality in 64 cases with surgery was 23.43%.

During 1978-1979, a neurosurgeons team of Military hospital 103 was sent to the Military hospital 121 (of the Military Zone IXth). This report had the following aims: 1. To indicate the signficance of 2 groups of clinical symptoms and radio-craniography in the diagnosis of OHI. 2. To evaluate results after primary surgical management. 3. To evaluate results after surgery with draining pus, necroisis tissues and removeving foreign masters in patients with OHI, sent to the hospital 3 days after trauma

Background: Cranial trauma is a major cause of death among types of trauma. So far, although pediatric cranial trauma can leave more severe consequences, it has not still been adequate attended.\r\n', u'Objectives: To study clinical characteristics and cranial trauma treatment of under 16 years old children in Binh Dinh General Hospital. Subjects and method: A retrospective study was conducted on 256 under 16 year old patients with cranial trauma (180 males, 76 female) in Binh Dinh General Hospital from January, 2005 to September, 2005. Results:Cranial trauma in children was common seen in male/female ratio as 70.31/29.69. Common aged between 3-16 years old (89%). Main cause of it was traffic accident (64.5%). 100% of patients admitted to hospital with a Glasgow score 11 points. In those aged 3-16 years old, 14.03% of them with score of Glasgow coma scale \ufffd?2 points. Cranial CT scans: 78 patients, Cranial X-rays: 122 patients. Surgical rate 10.6%. Mean surgical days was 5.12\xb13.80 days. Complication rate was 33.2%. Non-operative mortality was 1.56%. Conclusion: Cranial trauma was common seen in those aged 3-16 years old, in male more than female. According to Glasgow outcome scale, good recovery rate achieved 65.23%. \r\n', u'

Cisternostomy is defined as opening the basal cisterns to atmospheric pressure. This technique helps to reduce the intracranial pressure in severe head trauma as well as other conditions when the so-called sudden "brain swelling" troubles the surgeon. We elaborated the surgical anatomy of this procedure as well as the proposed physiology of how cisternostomy works. This novel technique may change the current trends in neurosurgery.

Although fracture of the humeral shaft or dislocation of the shoulder joint is a common injury, a simutaneous injury is rare. We present such a case combined with head injury which took precedence over the skeletal injuries. The postoperative rehabilitation was slowed down by the head injury. This case report makes us aware of some problems when managing the patient with this rare injury and helps us understand the management options better. Also the need for proper follow-up and rehabilitation is emphasized.
