In this article, the neuroradiological evaluation of traumatic brain injury is reviewed. Different imaging strategies in the assessment of traumatic brain injury are initially discussed, and this is followed by a review of the imaging characteristics of both primary and secondary brain injuries. Computed tomography remains the modality of choice for the initial assessment of acute head injury b...

Comparison of visual perception error among patients with mild traumatic brain injury healthy people

The authors review the psychiatric disturbances associated with traumatic brain injury. They highlight the close link between traumatic brain injury and psychiatry and provide an overview of the epidemiology, risk factors, classification, and mechanisms of traumatic brain injury. They describe various neuropsychiatric sequelae, and the respective treatments are outlined with emphasis on a multi...

Background The role of lower extremity (LE) muscle strength for predicting traumatic knee injury in youth athletes is largely unknown. Aims The aim was to investigate the influence of LE muscle strength on traumatic knee injury in youth female and male athletes. Methods 225 athletes (40% females) from sport senior high schools in Sweden were included in this case-control study. The athletes...

OBJECTIVE To review novel therapeutic approaches in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury. DESIGN Eighty-three studies were reviewed specific to the treatment of traumatic brain injury, in either experimental models or in patients. CONCLUSION Four therapeutic strategies appear to be the most promising approaches currently in clinical trials for severe traumatic brain injury: a) the...

A debate has ensued about the long-term consequences of mild traumatic brain injury, the 'signature injury' of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Most epidemiological studies have found that mild traumatic brain injury is unrelated to unspecific post-concussion symptoms based on self-reported symptoms. A longitudinal study, in this issue of the Journal, using objective tests has demonstrated that m...

Main results 48% of participants had an axis I disorder that began after traumatic brain injury. 62% had an axis I disorder during their lifetimes. Common new disorders following traumatic brain injury were major depression (27%), alcohol abuse or dependence (12%), panic disorder (8%), specific phobia (8%) and psychotic disorders (7%). 23% had at least one personality disorder. Conclusions Trau...

Children with traumatic brain injury are reported to have deficits in performance monitoring, but the mechanisms underlying these deficits are not well understood. Four performance monitoring hypotheses were explored by comparing how 28 children with traumatic brain injury and 28 typically developing controls (matched by age and sex) performed on the stop-signal task. Control children slowed si...
