Cerebral contusion: a prototype for head injury
J Neurosurg Nurs.
1984 Feb.
Abstract
Cerebral contusions occur as a result of traumatic head injury. These lesions may consist of tissue necrosis, hemorrhage, and edema. The patient with a cerebral contusion is at risk to develop increased ICP and brain tissue displacement that may cause a rapid deterioration in his clinical condition.
