DOPPLER SIGNS OF BLOOD FLOW IN THE CAROTID ARTERIES IN PATIENTS AFTER MILD CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA COMBINED WITH FACIAL SKULL INJURY AT THE ACUTE PHASE

Introduction. Change in blood flow in the brain is one of the factors in the development of neurological disorders in patients who had mild traumatic brain injury. As a result of circulatory disorders of the brain, changes occur primarily in the structures of limbic-reticular complex. In cases where a combination of mild traumatic brain injury with a lesion of the facial skull, the severity of intracranial hemodynamic disorders is enhanced by damage to the soft tissues of the face, fractures of bone formation, damage to the eyeball. At the same time, an important role is played by disorders of the autoregulatory mechanisms of cerebral circulation, peripheral vasogenic reaction in the facial ara.

Degree of severity of the traumatic brain injury is not always associated with the degree of changes in blood flow. Cases of impaired blood flow were identified and obtained mild traumatic brain injury, as well as when it is combined with the trauma of the facial skull. Timely treatment reduces the risk of the consequences of mild craniocerebral trauma.
