Clinical course, CT, EEG and EP data as well as a cerebral blood flow and central hemodynamics parameters of 1727 patients with brain contusions were analyzed. It has been concluded that features of cerebral countercoup injuries do not match with definition of cerebral contusion. Countercoup injuries should be considered as secondary traumatic lesions with hemangiopathic and ischemic components. Their progress or regress depends on changes of CBF and integrity of vascular walls of regional vessels.
