AbstractAbstract
[en] Aim: to evaluate the changes of cerebral perfusion in patients after craniocerebral injury with clinical temporal conus syndrome. Material and methods: We present a group of 14 head injured patients admitted to neurosurgery with the syndrome of temporal herniation (Glasgow coma scale 3 - 5, homorateral dilated pupil and disturbed vital functions). There were 7 epidural, 6 subdural and one intracerebral hematomas. Mean age was 42, 7. All patients had urgent surgery and then continuous monitoring of vital functions. Results: Two postoperative CT and SPECT examinations were performed in each patient. Only 2 patients had visible ischemia on the first postoperative CT scan, both diet. 11 patients had ischemia in both the first post-operative and the follow up SPECT. 7 patients had improvement on the follow up SPECT compared to the first one, 6 of them were good results, one died. Conclusions: SPECT is very sensitive to impaired cerebral perfusion and may be helpful as a serial study. This is very mainly in the patients with reversible ischemia which may be influenced therapeutically with good results
