2 Figure 1 Components of TBI and importance of different pathophysiological mechanisms (A) The different components of TBI with ischaemic damage are superimposed on the primary types of injury (haematoma, contusion, and diffuse axonal injury). Systemic insults and brain swelling contribute to ischaemic damage, which might in turn cause more swelling. (B) The relative importance of different pathophysiological mechanisms in various types of TBI. CPP=cerebral perfusion pressure. ICP=intracranial perssure. SDH=acute subdural haematoma. DAI=diffuse axonal injury. Adapted from Graham et al,29 with permission from Hodder Arnold. The Lancet Neurology 2008 7, DOI: ( /S (08) ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions
