Description
Summary:The paper shows that the treatment of brain traumatic lesions is a topical problem. Moreover, the complications associated with the development of cerebral recompression play a particular role in the posttraumatic period. The purpose of the present study was to reveal the regularities of reorganization of cyto- and synaptoarchitectonics of different layers of the cerebral cortex in patients with cerebral recompression in the acute period of brain injury. Cerebral cortical biopsy specimens taken in 6 patients from the perifocal area (subdural hematoma and a contusion focus with intracerebral hematoma) were examined. The results were statistically processed, by using a package of the applied programs «StatSoft Statistica 6.0». Based on the findings, the authors suggest that it is necessary to make an early diagnosis and a complex intervention that promotes the improvement of the ultimate results of treatment.
