Delayed-Onset Neuropathological Complications From a Foramen Magnum and Occipital Crest Focused TBI of the Vietnam War and Other Conflicts: Part III, Critique of Existing TBI Criteria and Their Operational Controversies

CONCLUSIONS: This dilemma requires a multidisciplinary, science/medicine-led panel to actively reassess TBI criteria that take into consideration the latest research including non-cerebral hemispheric injuries. We recommend that DoD/Veterans Affairs establish a commission to regularly review the academic-related scientific evidence and incorporate these findings in a timely fashion into their operational definitions. This would guarantee that recognition, diagnosis, and follow-up of all TBIs are properly understood, managed, and documented.PMID:34632521 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab373
