Abstract

Histological examination of the epiphyses of 12 persons who perished because of craniocerebral trauma (CCT) showed that even in the first hours after CCT clear manifestations of considerable morphofunctional transformation of epiphyseal cellular elements towards intensification of indoleamine production become obvious. In the cases of death on the 11th–12th post-traumatic day, we observed complete morphofunctional exhaustion of the epiphysis: the cell elements with typical features of pinealocytes practically disappeared.
