RESUMO
An analysis of 93 patients with traumatic intracranial hematomas of different degree of severity of craniocerebral trauma was made. The patients consist of 59 (63,4%) boys and 36 (36,6%) girls. In most cases, the cause of craniocerebral injury was a fall from variable-heights 56 (60,2%) patients. Cerebral symptoms dominate in examined children more than nidal symptoms. The evidence of meningeal symptoms was in direct proportion to the severity of brain contusion and disappeared by 7-8 days after trauma in majority of cases. In almost all cases, the traumatic intracranial hematomas were diagnosed on the basis of computerized tomographic system data. The choice of treatment strategy was determined according to neurological symptomatology and CT findings.
