Traumatic brain injury is an insult to the brain caused by an external force that results in an impairment (transient or permanent) of cognitive, behavioral, emotional, or physical function. Traumatic brain injury encompasses shearing injury, which might be seen in a shaken infant, as well as penetrating injury from a foreign body, such as a bullet. This article addresses the recovery phase and functional sequelae following traumatic brain injury. Research and clinical experience over the past decade have led to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of head injury and, in turn, improved management.
创伤性脑损伤是指由外力导致的对大脑的损害，可引起认知、行为、情感或身体功能的损伤（短暂或永久性）。创伤性脑损伤包括剪切伤（如在摇晃婴儿中所见）以及异物（如子弹）造成的穿透伤。本文探讨创伤性脑损伤后的恢复阶段和功能后遗症。过去十年的研究和临床经验使人们对头部损伤的病理生理学有了更好的理解，进而改善了治疗。
