Abstract

The sequelae of severe closed head injury has received much attention in the literature, but the effects of mild closed head injury are less well established. The course of an 18-year-old female who sustained a mild closed head injury is presented. Substantial gains in intellectual function were observed over the year postinjury, with the most dramatic improvement coming in the first 6 months after the accident. Psychologic adjustment did not mirror the cognitive recovery. The implications of these findings are discussed.

摘要

重度闭合性颅脑损伤的后遗症在文献中受到了广泛关注，但轻度闭合性颅脑损伤的影响尚不明确。本文介绍了一名18岁女性轻度闭合性颅脑损伤后的病程。在受伤后的一年里，观察到其智力功能有显著改善，最显著的改善出现在事故后的前6个月。心理调适情况与认知恢复情况并不一致。本文讨论了这些发现的意义。
