The cases of 102 people who suffered brain and facial trauma were reviewed, noting the long-term outcome at more than 5 years. Results of complete physical examinations performed by a surgeon and an internist were available for 25 patients. Data noted were: circumstances of the traumatic event, classification of brain injuries, sensory and sensorial disorders, and persistent pain, psychological trauma, social and occupational consequences and at the final legal and financial compensation. These data were summarized in tables to facilitate discussion of the findings.
