Abstract

The major unifying concept of the effect of trauma on the central nervous system is the application of force to the brain. The mode of delivery of energy and its dissipation result in the varying pathologic manifestations of hemorrhage, contusions, or tears. Topics discussed in this article include inner cerebral trauma, gunshot wounds, contusions and lacerations, hemorrhages, fractures, and spinal cord trauma.
