In India about one million people sustain head injury every year.
Minor head injury constitutes about 80 – 90% cases of total head
injury patients. About 50% minor head injury cases have associated
organic brain dysfunctions. Studies like SPECT, VEP, BAER, TCD and
P300 recordings have demonstrated hypoperfusion and dysfunctional
abnormalities of brain parenchyma in most of the cases having post-concussion
syndrome and persistent post-concussion syndrome. Significant blood
flow abnormalities are found in medial temporal lobe, hippocampus
and frontal lobe etc, which are responsible for various functional
problems.
