A naso-orbital injury is often associated with a craniocerebral injury due to the close anatomical localization of the facial and cerebral compartments of the skull. Patients with such injuries showed enhancement of free-radical lipid oxidation and microcirculation disorders. They were controlled by traditional therapeutic methods in combination with antioxidants of direct and indirect action (ascorbic acid, flacumin, alpha-tocopherol acetate, pentoxifylline ) that were given in standard doses. Improvement of microcirculation and decrease of free-radical oxidation of lipids were followed by faster normalization of bioelectric activity and hemodynamics of the brain and earlier clinical recovery. Microcirculation parameters recorded during biomicroscopy of vessels of the bulbar conjunctiva can be used for evaluating cerebral circulation because vessel responses of the eyeball and the brain are similar.

An analysis of 117 cases of acute closed craniocerebral trauma (CCCT) of a mild degree, the time-course of the EEG, EchoEG and REG findings in the process of treatment has shown that mild CCCT was expressed clinically in CSF hypertension, as well as vegetovascular and asthenoneurotic syndromes. The detection at the early stages of the injury of the leading clinical syndrome contributes to the conduction of purposeful therapeutic measures. A positive time-course of some electrophysiological parameters indicates the normalization of vegetovascular dysfunctions under the impact of acupuncture, which permits the use of this method in the multiple modality treatment of CCCT in the acute period.
