Forensic aspects of mild brain injury.
Many cases of mild brain injury ate not identified even in litigated cases. Failure to recognize mild brain injury may be due to insensitivity of neuroradiologic procedures, coding limitations, patient denial, lack of obvious head trauma, or focus of attention toward more obvious physical injuries. Neurocognitive and neurobehavioral sequelae of mild brain injury are often attributed to psychogenic etiology resulting in lost opportunities for timely and appropriate interventions.
