Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) presents in several forms ranging from mild alterations of consciousness to not in determination comatose state and death. In the most severe form of TBI, the entirety of the brain is affected by a diffuse type of injury and swelling. Treatment modalities vary extensively based on the severity of the injury and range from daily cognitive therapy sessions to radical surgery such as bilateral decompressive craniectomies. Guidelines have been set forth regarding the optimal management of TBI, but they must be taken in the context of the situation and cannot be used in every individual circumstance.
