Protracted post-traumatic confusional state treated with physostigmine.

A case study is presented of confusion in a head-injured man, lasting for more than 2 years, when intermittent treatment with physostigmine resulted in progressive improvement in both confusion and usable cognitive functions. Aetiological mechanisms and implications for treatment plans are discussed.

Hysteria following brain injury.

Of 167 patients referred to a unit treating severe behaviour disorders after brain injury, 54 showed clinical features closely resembling those of gross hysteria as described by Charcot. Close correlation was found with very diffuse insults (hypoxia and hypoglycaemia), but not with severity of injury or with family or personal history of hysterical or other psychiatric disorder. The findings may have implications for the understanding of the nature of hysteria.

Long-term head injury problems.

Areas of current research in the nature and remediation of the long-term sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are reviewed. Studies identifying features that predict outcome still greatly outnumber those of efficacy of rehabilitation. A growing interest is in acute biochemical change that may exacerbate poor outcome.
