    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Acute traumatic mutism is a rare condition following head injury.
    • Understanding its causes and presentation is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with immediate wakeful speechlessness post-head trauma.
    • Neurological deficits associated with the condition were monitored.
    • The evolution and eventual resolution of these deficits were documented.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the occurrence of acute traumatic mutism.
    • Observed neurological deficits and their recovery patterns provide clinical insights.

    Implications:

    • This report contributes to the understanding of traumatic brain injury sequelae.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology of acute traumatic mutism is warranted.
