THE RELATIONSHIP OF INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE AND PRESENCE OF BLOOD IN THE CEREBROSPINAL FLUID TO THE OCCURRENCE OF HEADACHES IN PATIENTS WITH INJURIES TO THE HEAD

Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid was examined for presence of blood and pressure measured immediately after injury in 265 patients with acute head injuries. There was no significant increase in the incidence of headaches, either in the immediate post-traumatic period or later, in those with abnormal cerebrospinal fluids than in those patients without such alterations.
