The authors examined 82 patients, aged from 2 months to 14 years, with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. In 40 the hemorrhage was complicated by fractures of the skull bones. It was established that subarachnoid hemorrhage in injury is always evidence of brain contusion of different severity. The clinical course is graver in fractures of the skull bones, which indicates that the damage to the brain is extensive.
