Early onset dystonia following traumatic brain injury

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1994
Dystonia, a movement disorder resulting from dysfunction of the basal ganglia and thalamus, has not been described during the acute post-traumatic period after severe traumatic brain injury. We reported three patients who developed early onset dystonia after sustaining severe closed head injuries. The first patient went on to complete resolution of the

Early management of severe traumatic brain injury

The Lancet, 2012
Severe traumatic brain injury remains a major health-care problem worldwide. Although major progress has been made in understanding of the pathophysiology of this injury, this has not yet led to substantial improvements in outcome. In this report, we address present knowledge and its limitations, research innovations, and clinical implications ...

Pre-vasospasm: early brain injury

2008
Despite modern advances in surgery, subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) continues to carry high morbidity and mortality rates. The reasons for this are currently unclear. It is certain however that vasospasm is not the only modality responsible for this. As a result the concept of Early Brain Injury (EBI) has been introduced in an effort to focus attention ...

Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Early Brain Injury

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 1989
A previous study reported the results of a 3 1/2-month interdisciplinary early intervention effort with 17 preschoolers with either congenital ( n = 10) or acquired ( n = 7) brain injury. Findings for both groups were somewhat optimistic, though tentative.

Brain Plasticity Following Early Life Brain Injury: Insights From Neuroimaging

Seminars in Perinatology, 2010
The developing human brain possesses a superior capacity to reorganize after focal lesions. This review describes mechanisms of reorganization following pre- and perinatally-acquired, unilateral brain lesions for motor, somatosensory, and language functions.

Microcephaly And Early Brain Injury

2004
Abstract Growth delays are common in international adoptees at arrival to the United States (see Chapter 10). How ever, short stature and underweight are not as worrisome as microcephaly, a reflection of impaired brain growth. Microcephaly is common in newly arrived international adoptees (Table 12–1).

Early Aortic Repair Worsens Concurrent Traumatic Brain Injury

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2014
Blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are the leading causes of death after blunt trauma, and TBI is common among patients with BTAI. Although aspects of aortic management, such as repair timing and procedural anticoagulation therapy, may complicate TBI, the optimal management of these patients is undefined.Adults with ...

Functional Plasticity or Vulnerability After Early Brain Injury?

Pediatrics, 2005
Context. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common, acquired, childhood disability that may be used as a model to understand more completely the impact of early brain injury on both brain structure and day-to-day function. Contrary to previously held views of the “plasticity” of the young brain, recent research suggests that such early insults may have ...
