An outline is presented of the longer term consequences of severe closed head injury (i.e. those exceeding the period of PTA). It is shown that head injury can have very serious consequences for the victim. Despite the fact that measures of IQ have been claimed to show considerable recovery it is likely that severe head injury invariably results in some degree of permanent functional impairment. The vexatious issue of the 'post-concussional syndrome' is discussed and the conclusion is reached that it is unlikely that this syndrome is solely produced by the possibility of compensation.
本文概述了重度闭合性颅脑损伤的长期后果（即超过创伤后遗忘期的后果）。结果表明，颅脑损伤会给受害者带来非常严重的后果。尽管有人声称智商测试结果显示有相当程度的恢复，但重度颅脑损伤很可能总会导致某种程度的永久性功能障碍。文中讨论了“脑震荡后综合征”这一棘手问题，并得出结论：该综合征不太可能仅仅是由赔偿可能性导致的。
