The condition of cerebral hemodynamic at the patients who transferred a cervical trauma of a backbone during the early and intermediate periods was studied. Examined 48 patients at the age of 18—50 years with cervical injury of spine during the early and intermediate periods. Patients were grouped according anatomical particularizes of cervical cord injury and influenced at spinal cord. Besides neurologic inspection, methods of ultrasonic Doppler sonography extracranial and transcranial Doppler sonography of intracranial brain vessels. The most essential changes of a blood-groove were registered in vertebrobasilar pool in a group with a complicated inferior cervical backbone trauma (deficiency of a blood-groove on 30—32% from control group р < 0,05). At patients with not complicated inferior cervical trauma authentically changed only intracranial blood-groove on vertebralis arteries (decrease on 19—26% on the average; р < 0,05). Characteristic changes for patients with a cranivertebral trauma of hemodynamic have not been revealed. The cerebral hemodynamic during the early and intermediate periods was changed at the patients on severity lower level of a cervical trauma of a backbone.
