Abstract

This paper focuses primarily on the biomechanical factors which may lead to a substantial brain-tissue lesion following cranio-cervical trauma. Emphasis is placed on pathoanatomical findings and clinical parameters in the assessment of trauma-severity. Results from previous research are highlighted to demonstrate close interrelationship between the severity of a trauma and neurological, psychological, neuropsychological sequelae or lesions visible by neuroimaging. Knowledge of this interrelationship clearly indicates the necessity of proper initial assessment to allow reliable prognosis of outcome and establishment of treatment strategies.
