Book Synopsis

A comprehensive guide to traumatic brain injury, beginning with an introduction to epidemiology, biomechanics and pathology of head injury, then discussing resulting conditions, and the academic and clinical aspects of their management.

Written by experts in the fields of neuropsychiatry, neurology and rehabilitation medicine, dedicated chapters also examine rarer aspects including post-traumatic basal ganglia haematoma, dural sinus thrombosis, CSF otorrhea and facial injuries. Fluid and electrolyte management are also discussed.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive guide to traumatic brain injury discussing numerous conditions resulting from head trauma, as well as basic epidemiology, biomechanics and pathology
  • Includes chapters on rarer conditions, as well as fluid and electrolyte management
  • Almost 300 colour images and illustrations
