[Clinico-psychopathologic aspects of acute craniocerebral injuries]

Abstract

Altogether 100 patients with severe craniocerebral traumas seen during the acute period in a neurotraumatological hospital were entered into a clinico-psychopathological study. The authors traced the effect of the extent of the damage, the duration and depth of the comatose state, the localization of the injury and a number of other factors, including the therapy conducted, on the formation and time-course of individual psychopathological syndromes and patients' rehabilitation.
