Summary: In purpose of improvement understanding about diagnostic and treatment of acute craniocererbal lesions 2oo injured people will be processed. newest diagnostic procedures and monitoring of physiological and pathophysiological parameters duroing treatmen and rehabilitaition will be used. In investigation biomechanical and pathological characteristics in brain injuries wikll be inclkuded, as well as disturbance of brain perfusion, edema and ICP increase. At the same time we shall estimate efficientness of conservative and surgical procedures respectivelly. Dznamic of pszchological functions recovery will be speciallz examined, as well as neurological damage intensity. The aim of investigation is how to elevate efficientness of treatment and rehabilitation procedures in severe craniocerebral injuries.

Keywords: neurotraumatology, brain functions, cerebral edema, intrcranial pressure, neuropsychology, microneurosurgery, rehabilitation.

Research goals: Number of patients with cranbiocerebral injuries increase daiily especially thopse with politraumatiyed oinjuries (traffic accidents, injuries on eorking place). The most of them belong to work active population, so it is vez important to apply the rationality and most efficient therapeutic propcedures, as well as preventivce and rrehabilitational. The purpose of this investigation is further development and improvement of knowlegments about diagnostic and therapeutic management of acute craniocerebral injuries. POne of assigment is to examine better monitoring procedures of IC pressure, and brain functions. Invalidity and work ability loss is the frequent outcome of craniocerebraln injuries, so the investigation of changes ehich develop in recovery and rehabilitation time has a priority. Assesment of neurological and psychological damage, and remaining work ability is an important part of investigation. The aim of investigation is how to elevate efficientness and succesfulmness of therapeutic and rehabilitation procedures.
