Pathology of Head Injury Dr. Shashidhar V.M. Senior Lecturer & Head of pathology

Missile Injury: The “blast effect” of a high-velocity projectile causes an immediate increase in supratentorial pressure and results in death because of impaction of the cerebellum and medulla into the foramen magnum. A low-velocity projectile increases the pressure at a more gradual rate through hemorrhage and edema.

Whiplash injury:

Axonal Injury: A, Hypoxic/ischemic injury in cerebral cortex - "red neurons." shrunken cell B, Axonal spheroids at points of axonal disruption C, Swollen cell body and peripheral dispersion of Nissl substance (chromatolysis) H&E Stain.

Cerebral Edema: Normal Edema

Cerebral Edema: narrow sulci, flat gyri.

Intracranial hematoma: Pathological Mechanisms & clinical manifestations No special features Increased intracranial pressure with focal deficits; usually fatal Profound coma , usually rapidly fatal Cortical contusions Rupture of small intrinsic vessels with intracerebral haematoma 'Burst lobe' with intracerebral haematoma contusions and subdural haematoma Cerebral hemisphere Meningeal irritation with a rapid increase in intracranial pressure Arterial rupture Subarachnoid space Acute presentation with a rapid increase in intracranial pressure Chronic presentation with personality change, memory loss and confusion, particularly in the elderly Rupture of venous sinuses or small bridging veins due to torsion forces Subdural space Lucid interval followed by a rapid increase in intracranial pressure Skull fracture with arterial rupture, e.g. middle meningeal artery Epidural /Extradural Clinical manifestations Mechanism Site

Epidural Hematoma Fracture

Epidural - Hematoma - Subdural

Epidural hematoma -Skull Fracture.

Epidural Hemorrhage Dura Adherent clot

Subdural Hematoma: With head trauma, the dura moves with the skull, and the arachnoid moves with the cerebrum, . As a result, the bridging veins are sheared causing hematoma in the expansile subdural space.
