TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present guidelines for the management of severe head injury in adults as evolved by the European Brain Injury Consortium (EBC) and discuss the importance of preventing and treating secondary insults and the principles on which treatment is based.

TL;DR: Comparisons of the data from different parts of Europe showed substantial similarities and also differences that may reflect variations in policy for admission of the head injury to `neuro' units, and evolution in methods of assessment, investigation and management.

TL;DR: The identification of MGC4607 as the CCM2 gene strongly suggests that it is a new player in vascular morphogenesis, as already reported in other hamartomatous conditions, such as tuberous sclerosis or neurofibromatosis.

TL;DR: A large number of the patients treated in this study had undergone previous treatment for central giant cell granuloma, which is a complication of central nervous system prolapse.

TL;DR: The findings for an unselected series of patients confirm the view that death among patients with tSAH is related to the severity of the initial mechanical damage, rather than to the effects of delayed vasospasm and secondary ischemic brain damage.
