Summary: Between Aug.1991 and Dec. 1992, CT was performed on 154
pat. who had suffered missile head injury during the war in Croatia. In 54%
CT was performed 1-24h after injury, and in 27% follow-up CT was also
obtained. The wounds were penetrating, tangential or perforating (45%, 34%
and 21%). Haemorrhage was the most frequent lesion in the brain (84%).
Follow-up CT showed evolution of haemorrhage, oedema, cerebritis, abscess,
secondary vascular lesions, necrosis, encephalomalatia and hydrocephalus.
The most dynamic changes occurred 7-14 days after injury. In 14% of cases,
deep cerebral lesions were found in corpus callosum, septum pellucidum,
periventricular region and pons, although bone and shell fragments were in
different part of brain parenchyma. Such lesions werre found in penetrating
injuries only. Ct proved very useful for assessing extent and type of
lesions. Although different mechanisms of brain damage in missile head
injury are known, here they are, to the best of our knowledge, shown for
the first time by CT.

Summary: Head injury is a big public health problem. In this study,
epidemiological data on a large group of patients who died after head
injury were investigated. The group included 208 patients, 154 males and 54
females, deceased due to head and body injuries, whose cases were
neuropathologically elaborated at the Dept. of Neuropathology, Rebro,
Zagreb, in the period from 1974 till 1992.
A vast majority of patients were involved in road traffic accidents (RTA) -
58.2%, while in the category of fall there were approximately a half of
that number (30.8%). These two categories together made 89% of all cases.
Looking at the particular role in RTA the most numerous were pedestrians
(23.6%) followed by motor-vehicle occupants (15.4%) and bicycle/moped
drivers (13.5%). The distribution of cases generally resembled those from
Western countries, with some differencies emerging from particular
population characteristics. The most important differences observed were
the absence of assaults as a injury mechanism, and a significant proportion
of middle-aged and elderly bicyclists. Furthermore, the proportion of cases
without skull fracture in our sample (41.3%) was very high compared with
published data. This might be due to a considerable number of patients who
died after a long posttraumatic disease.
