Craniocerebral injury - casuistry

Abstract

Statistics of rescued people after head-brain injuries are constantly increasing and therefore we are forced to seek effective therapeutic procedures. Up to 90 % of people after a brain injuries will cure physically within one year, although severe mobility and speech disorders or other associated disease, such as epilepsy, persist. In the described case we focus on a young patient whose chances of survival were minimal and whose brain damage caused changes not only in the areas of motor, cognitive and swallowing but also changes in his perception of touch, smell, taste, sight and change in thermoregulation.
