Topic

Traumatic brain and spinal cord injury is considered the leading cause of death and permanent morbidity in the population under 40. State of the art treatment of such conditions is one of the most cost-efficient medical interventions.

This chapter of Neurosurgery deals with acute scenarios physicians should face not only in their practice but also in their everyday "private" life.

Completion of the course will enable students to classify various forms of central nervous system injuries while also being capable of decision making in terms of transfer as well as definitive treatment.
