Overview of TBI

Abstract

The continued significant societal challenge of both civilian and military traumatic brain injury (TBI) makes the development of preventive strategies ranging from primary to secondary to tertiary pressing. The invisible and visible loss of societal productivity further underscores this urgency. The clinical complexity of traumatic brain has resulted in controversy, especially in the appreciation of concussion and its sequelae with the need to clearly define terms such as mild TBI and the persistent post-concussive syndrome or symptom complex. The following overview highlights some of the key areas of the required interdisciplinary approach to TBI.
