The analysis of the results of treatment of 818 sufferers with severe craniocerebral trauma was carried out. Among the patients, 102 had associated injuries to the abdominal organs. The difficulties of timely diagnosis were related to atypical manifestation of intraabdominal complications, insufficient pronouncement of clinical symptoms; therefore, the special methods of investigation--roentgenologic, instrumental, the use of liquid-crystal colour thermography acquire special value. The lethality was 37.2%.
