Abstract
A high incidence of CBF abnormality has been reported in patients following acute head injury (Obrist et al. 1983). Previous observations in such patients suggested that both lateralized CT scan lesions and hemispheral CBF differences are associated with distinctive psychological impairment (Uzzell et al. 1979, 1980). The present study examines the relationship between acute CBF findings and subsequent neuropsychological function in survivors of severe head injury.
