Comparative Study[The differentiated treatment of traumatic intracranial hematomas].
The article deals with the analysis of the clinical and computed tomography data, treatment, and outcomes in 94 patients with traumatic intracerebral hematomas (TICH). The indications for nonoperative treatment of TICH are a level of consciousness of the patient of no lower than 10 marks of the Glasgow coma scale, hematoma diameter of less than 4 cm, and the absence of clinical and computed tomography signs of brain stem compression. ⋯ Puncture evacuation of the TICH may be resorted to if more than three fourths of its volume can be aspirated. The stereotaxic method is recommended for removal of TICH situated in the region of the basal ganglia.

As many as 18 patients with a history of military service in Afghanistan, who suffered (7.2 years before on the average) commotion due to the explosion wave were examined. The vegetative status was studied by different methods including cardiointervalography, as was the patients' emotional and personality sphere. ⋯ Attempts were made to correct the psychovegetative syndrome by central electroanalgesia in the tranquilization mode (9-10 daily sessions).
