Neuropsychological evaluation of mild head injury

Abstract

Neuropsychological deficits following mild head injury have been reported recently in the literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate this tissue with a strict methodological approach. The neuropsychological performance of 50 mildly head injured patients was compared with that of 50 normal controls chosen with the case-control approach. No conclusive evidence was found that mild head injury causes cognitive impairment one month after the trauma.
