title: Recurrent traumatic brain injury.
abstract: This article reviews, analyses and provides commentary on the most recent literature concerning recurrent traumatic brain injury (RTBI) case histories. It is revealed that a significant proportion of TBI sufferers survive and recover most of the functions of daily living. However, relatively little is known about the epidemiology, effects, or causes of a new phenomenon: recurrent TBI.
