| Popis: | Prediction of long-term outcome following traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a challenge. Review of the pediatric closed head injury literature notes the relative prevalence of deficits in memory, language, visuospatial abilities, and motor functioning. However, persistent deficits in intellectual functioning have been reported to be essentially confined to patients with severe TBI. We present a case of moderate TBI at age 3 months. Serial CT, EEG, and neuropsychological and intellectual testing. Intellectual assessment of family members, and behavioral observations are integrated. Data 4–5 years postinjury suggest persistent intellectual and cognitive deficits. |
