We summarized our experience in providing care to patients with closed craniocerebral trauma combined with closed skeletal bone injuries in a multidisciplinary city hospital. From 1975 till 1987 1051 patients with such trauma were treated at the neurosurgical department of the hospital, that was 6.3% of all the patients with craniocerebral injuries admitted to the hospital during the stated period. These included 78 (7.4%) children, 276 (26.3%) women and 697 (66.3%) men. There were 84% of the patients between the ages of 20 and 60. Road traffic injuries accounted for 54% of the causes of injury; alcohol intoxication accounted for 34.8% of the patients.
