traumatic brain injury is a common entity. however cerebral infarction in infants is a rare entity while the diagnosis of this pathology in the pediatric population is usually difficult. the mild head trauma is rarely accompanied by intracranial injury and even less, with cerebral infarction. we herein report the first case of cerebral infarction after a mild brain trauma in a 2-year-old latin-...

the incidence of traumatic brain injury (tbi) are annually increasing, developed tissue engineering methods could represent the definite remedies for patients with strongly injured central nervous system and have a great effect in the public healthcare cost. the current clinical treatments in tbi display several limitations. furthermore, several therapies, coming from neural tissue engineering ...

the sex hormone progesterone has been shown to improve outcomes in animal models and two early-phase trials involving patients with traumatic brain injury (tbi). the aim of this clinical study was to assess the effect of progesterone on the improvement of neurologic outcome in patients with diffuse and acute tbi. a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial of progesterone was conducted in our...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) results from a sudden and external physical impact to the head, and often leads to motor and cognitive impairment. using tissue engineering strategies, we aimed to review aspects of extra cellular matrix (ecm) based scaffold that could be delivered to the injured brain. the ecm is produced intracellularly and secreted to form a dense network of proteins and glycans,...

catatonia is a syndrome that can be treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ect). hence, onset of catatonia during treatment of patients with ect is not expected. in this manuscript, a schizoaffective disorder patient with a positive history of traumatic brain injury and no consumption of benzodiazepines is being reported, who became catatonic during ect.
