Hemorrhagic progression of contusion (HPC) is frequently seen on repeat CT, but its clinical and radiological significance in case of mild TBI is not well define. The aim of the study: to evaluate the result of routine repeat head CT in patients with mild TBI and brain contusions. Materials and methods: retrospective analysis of management of patients with mild TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score – 13 to 15) and cerebral contusion. All patients were treated at the Kyiv City Clinical Emergency Hospital between 2016 and 2017. Results: within 202 patients with mild TBI, 87 (43.1 %) met the inclusion criteria and were selected for detailed analysis. There were 69 (79.3 %) men and 18 (20.7 %) women. The mean age of the patients was 43.8±12.7 years (17–82 years). The average time between trauma and CT was 3.3 hours. The average volume of contusion on the initial CT w...
