Cognitive impairment is common after head injury, even when the injury has been minor and does not require inpatient assessment or management. The intellectual deficit is maximal in the first week after injury and tends to resolve spontaneously within three or four weeks. It may, however, still be present six months or longer after the injury. Neuropsychologic testing is required to detect subtle cognitive deficits that may nevertheless have far-reaching effects. Cognitive impairment after head injury has specific implications for family physicians, team physicians, educators and athletic coaches.
头部受伤后认知障碍很常见，即使损伤很轻微，不需要住院评估或治疗。智力缺陷在受伤后的第一周最为严重，并且往往在三到四周内自行缓解。然而，损伤后六个月或更长时间可能仍然存在。需要进行神经心理学测试来检测可能具有深远影响的细微认知缺陷。头部受伤后的认知障碍对家庭医生、队医、教育工作者和体育教练有特殊意义。
