Abstract

According to recent literature the head injury is accomponied with ischemic impairment of cerebral circulation due to developing of cerebral vasospasm which occurs in 5—40% cases of severe head injury. Etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifistation, diagnostic of cerebral angiospasm are disscused. The author demonstrrates that patients with subarchnoid hemorrhage have a high risk of developing of vasospasm. It“s diagnostic is baseed on using of computed tomography, angiography and transcranial dopplerography.
