Derealisation following head injury: a case report.
Depersonalisation and derealisation which are often present together, occur in a number of functional and organic conditions. However, their occurrence in the post-concussional syndrome has been previously described in only one case. A case is presented in which derealisation was the only presentation following a minor closed head injury. The possible aetiology is discussed.
