Abstract :

Abstract: The neurobehavioral sequelae of traumatic ain injury consist of a spectrum of neurological (motor, sensory, cognitive) as well as neuropsychiatric manifestations. Objective: We report a case of a 32–year–old female without psychiatric antecedents who developed manic episode after traumatic ain injury (TBI). Methods and results: Findings on neurobehavioral examination, neuropsychological test, electrophysiological and imaging exams suggested the presence of a diffuse cereal injury with a predominance of right parietal–temporal findings. Conclusions: This case demonstrates that TBI may cause vulnerability to psychiatric disorders, with long latency periods, and that its course may be independent of cognitive impairment and recovery.
