title: Psychological sequelae of head injury.
abstract: Psychological disturbances are common after head injuries. A constellation of factors--organic, psychosocial and legal--may contribute to disability. Behavioural problems are not uncommon in children after head injuries. Developments in understanding the mechanisms that might lead to these complications have brought about improved management techniques.
