Abstract

This paper presents unexplored data on peacetime and wartime craniocerebral and maxillofacial injuries hospitalized at the Foundation Hospital Rebro in Zagreb 1942-1945. 1532 patients were hospitalized, of which 964 (62.93%) had craniocerebral injuries and 568 (37%) maxillofacial injuries. The average age of the admitted patients was 30.19 years, male of 84%, indicating affi liation to military units of younger age groups of men. The most common admission diagnoses were fractura mandibulae (29.2%), commotio cerebri (23.3%) and vulnus sclopetarium capitis (19.3%). 7.0% of those admitted were cured, 80.6% had an improved health condition at discharge, 2.6% were untreated, and 9.1% of hospitalized patients died. The highest number of deaths was recorded due to the diagnosis of commotio cerebri (45%), followed by vulnus sclopetarium capitis (25%), followed by fractura baseos cranii and fractura cranii.
