Contusion of Central Nervous System
Laceration of Central Nervous System
- Tearing of the CNS is known as lacreation.
- This may be caused by
- Bone within the skull
- For example, a fractured skull
- Penetrating objects
- For example, bullets.
- Bone within the skull
- Laceration is the most severe and serious form of traumatic injury as it carries the additional risk of contamination or infection.
Haemorrhage of Central Nervous System
- Haemorrhage may:
- Follow contusion injury
- Result from endothelial damage
- Locations of haemorrhage may be:
- Epidural
- Subdural
- Leptomeningeal
- Cerebral
