Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Objectives:- Even mild, head injury during pregnancy can threaten either the maternal or the fetal life. The risk is associated with systemic and cerebral consequences of rapid expanding mass lesion, high intracranial pressure, hypotension, anoxia or anemia. But recent studies also show that hormonal status contribute to better outcome after traumatic brain injury, and progesterone is a potent neuroprotector. This phenomena leads to different and specific management than usual case.
