Analysis of 210 cases of brain concussion and contusion showed that the general cerebral and focal symptoms of trauma of the brain are pronounced much more markedly and persist longer in combination of craniocerebral trauma (CCT) and diabetes mellitus than in CCT and normal blood sugar content. Inclusion of vasoactive agents Cavinton and Complamin into the scheme of complex therapy accelerates regression of the neurological symptomatology. The clinical course of diabetes mellitus may be aggravated by the CCT, which shows that additional correction of antidiabetic therapy is necessary.
