| Abstract: | Central nervous system (CNS) trauma is divided into brain and spinal cord injury. A basic understanding of the pathophysiology of CNS trauma helps the practitioner more accurately evaluate, treat, and prognose cases of CNS trauma. The progressive nature of CNS injuries and the contribution of microvascular ischemic are explored. |
