An 18-year-old professional goalkeeper sustained a significant head injury with intracranial hemorrhage and microhemorrhages confirmed on CT and MRI imaging. Conservative management including prolonged rest, neurocognitive assessment, and structured graduated return-to-sport led to successful recovery without symptom recurrence at six months.
A retrospective study of 53 patients (39 with migraine aura, 14 with TIA) investigated whether oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) measurements from MRI perfusion imaging could differentiate between these two conditions. Patients with migraine aura showed significantly higher OEF values than TIA patients, with the OEF ratio achieving 0.89 area under the curve for discrimination.
This editorial discusses the clinical presentations and manifestations observed in patients with mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury. The piece addresses recognized neurological and functional outcomes in this patient population.
This study compared lifetime concussion history in 199 patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (IRBD) versus 168 matched controls, finding concussions more common in IRBD patients (21.1% vs 10.1%). However, concussion history did not significantly predict progression to overt synucleinopathy, suggesting concussion exposure alone is not a strong determinant of IRBD development or disease course.
This systematic review analyzed TBI research publications from North Africa over 22 years (2000-2021), identifying 22 eligible studies from over 168,000 records across major databases. The findings reveal that North Africa accounts for less than 1% of global TBI research output, with low annual productivity and minimal research prior to 2004, indicating substantial research gaps compared to other regions.
