Delayed-Onset Neuropathological Complications From a Foramen Magnum and Occipital Crest-Focused Traumatic Brain Injury of the Vietnam War and Other Conflicts: Part II, Research Analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Research analysis prompted by a human case report (Part I) has helped identify mechanisms that assist in recognizing and defining non-cerebral hemispheric-focused TBI injuries. Position of the head in relationship to the blast wave, the setting in which the blast occurs, and close diagnostic follow-up are critical to the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries that have otherwise gone unrecognized and unstudied in humans since the Vietnam War.PMID:34632516 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab372
