Abstract:
Currently, the increasing number of subjects who survive a moderate to severe cranioencephalic traumatism (CET) has led to a greater number of sequels. This has made it necessary to study these sequels more specifically. Thus, we have wanted to manifest which are the most common sequels in the cases of patients who have suffered moderate to severe CET through our professional experience and current research done on this. Furthermore, we indicate the need to become aware of these deficits since these (specifically neuropsychological) are often too specific if we compare them with the generality of the standard used for their evaluation.
