Abstract

Two hundred and sixty-three consecutive head-injured patients aged over 65 years, admitted to a neurosurgical service, are reported. In contrast to younger age group the main cause was falls concomitant with a high rate of cardiovascular pre-existing disorders. The distribution of causes and grim results justify, in our opinion, regarding head injury in the elderly as a distinct entity requiring special surgical, medical, organizational and ethical considerations.
