Abstract

The death rate in case of traumatic brain injuries increases among aged patients but it doesn’t have any connection with extracerebral diseases. The only type of traumatic brain injury, which slightly increases among aged patients, is a subdural hematoma. Brain CT was performed on 110 TBI patients from 18 to 97 years old. It was found, that place (localization), form, and structure of subdural hematoma on CT scans were varying according to the age of patients. These differences are strongly related to the age of patients. The inhomogeneous structure of acute subdural hematoma can be itself a prognostic value in unfavorable results of TBI.
