This volume contains 65 out of the 104 papers presented at the Symposium as lectures or posters. The topics of the Symposium were similar to those discussed at the previous ones. Many discussions focused on clinical work especially diagnosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, and traumatic brain injury. Diagnosis and therapy, including surgical methods, have also been verified. Much attention was drawn to the application of decompressive craniectomy in the treatment of posttraumatic intracranial hypertension. The pathomechanisms of brain edema and tissue injury studied in experimental models have been also presented.
