[Severe mental disorders after prolonged post-traumatic coma].

D Marcelli, G Temey

    Annales Medico-Psychologiques
    |December 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Severe head injuries can lead to prolonged coma and psychiatric issues. A common psychopathological core, including memory, perception, and concentration deficits, underlies these diverse symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Severe closed head injuries frequently result in prolonged coma.
    • Understanding the psychiatric sequelae of such injuries is crucial for patient care.

    Observation:

    • The study observed psychiatric problems in patients with severe closed head injuries and prolonged coma.
    • Detailed case analyses were conducted on three specific patients.

    Findings:

    • A central psychopathological
    • core
    • common to diverse symptomatology was identified.
    • This core is characterized by memory disorders, perceptual problems, and difficulties with idea association.
    • Significant fatigue and reduced concentration powers are key components of this core.
    • Implications:
    • The identified psychopathological core offers a framework for understanding and potentially treating psychiatric issues post-head injury.
    • Recognizing these core deficits can guide therapeutic interventions and improve patient outcomes.
    • Further research into the neurobiological underpinnings of this core is warranted.
