Excerpt

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most important causes of death in young adults. Treatment aims at controlling the intracranial pressure (ICP) in order to maintain an adequate cerebral blood flow, to reduce the risk of secondary ischemic damage. Abnormal blood flow in the middle cerebral artery in patients with TBI was previously associated with poor outcome. Because perfusion of the brain shares a common origin with blood flow in the conjunctiva, we hypothesized that conjunctival microcirculation is altered after TBI in comparison with healthy subjects. …
