abstract="The paper deals with the specific features of brain injury (BI) in victims of road traffic accidents (RTA). RTA victims are most commonly pedestrians (62.6%) and less commonly drivers (17.5%). In over half the cases (62.6%), BI due to RTA is associated with extracranial lesions, leading to diagnostic problems. The pattern and site of lesions are related to the type of a transport vehicle and to the role of a victim as a traffic participant. Multiple extracranial lesions are mostly frequently encountered in victim pedestrians (30.3%), BI concurrent with chest damage is common in drivers (12.8%), BI concurrent with &quot;whip&quot; injury of the cervical spine is found in drivers and passengers though such combinations may also seen in pedestrians (1.5%--5 cases). The most severe form of brain compression is multifactorial compression (27.6%) and its most common form is compression with subdural hematoma (35.3%).<p /><p>Language: ru</p>",
