Abstract

Analysis of the victims of the earthquake in Armenia made it possible to distinguish a form of trauma, unique in biomechanics and pathogenesis, which was not described earlier, namely, prolonged compression of the head (PCH). Its clinical picture is characterized by superimposition and mutual aggravation of general organismic, general brain, cerebral and extracerebral focal symptomatology. Variants of the relations of the syndrome of prolonged compression of the soft tissues of the head and the craniocerebral damages proper are described. A detailed CT characterization of PCH is given. The principles of stage treatment of victims and the indications for compelled nonoperative and surgical tactics in PCH are suggested for the first time.
