title: [Psychiatric sequelae of craniocerebral trauma--a review of the literature].
abstract: In a brief review psychiatric aspects of head-injured patients are discussed. The topic is put into a historical perspective. Examples of recent developments in head-trauma research are given. Differentiation between focal and diffuse brain injury is suggested to be of clinical relevance. Little is known as yet about the neuropsychologic and psychiatric sequelae of diffuse axonal injury to the brain.
