Head Injuries: A New Treatment for the Post-Concussive Syndrome
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
Gunshot and shrapnel wounds of the head during the war have produced various disabilities not commonly seen in the injuries of peace-time.
The symptom complex which usually appears subsequent to head trauma has become very familiar during the past few years. The resemblance from case to case of certain sequelae to head injuries has been grouped together in syndromes, variously labelled post-concussive syndrome, post-traumatic personality change, post-traumatic neurosis and post-contusional state, all indicating an oft-recurring persistent disability following concussion of the brain.
