Digestive haemorrhages induced by traumatic cerebral lesions.

Three cases of severe craniocerebral injuries are presented wherein haemorrhagic types of digestive lesions occured at various intervals. Commonly, the cerebral lesions involve manily the rhinencephalic structures, whereas the digestive disturbances consisted mainly of vasodilatation and vasparalysis. Thus, a relationship between rhiencephalic function and digestive haemorrhages is suggested.
