Hydrocephalus commonly occurs after traumatic brain injury. Normal pressure hydrocephalus after traumatic brain injury is usually associated with a failure to progress in therapy and a plateauing or regression of functional abilities. Behavior disturbances are commonly seen as unfortunate sequelae of traumatic brain injury. However, normal pressure hydrocephalus has not been reported to cause aberrant, antisocial behavior. This case report details the course of a patient who sustained a traumatic brain injury and, subsequently, developed normal pressure hydrocephalus associated with paranoia, delusions, and violent behavior.
脑积水常见于创伤性脑损伤后。创伤性脑损伤后的正常压力脑积水通常与治疗进展停滞以及功能能力达到平台期或衰退有关。行为障碍通常被视为创伤性脑损伤的不幸后遗症。然而,尚未有报道称正常压力脑积水会导致异常的反社会行为。本病例报告详细描述了一名遭受创伤性脑损伤的患者的病程,该患者随后出现了与偏执、妄想和暴力行为相关的正常压力脑积水。
