NEUROREHABILITATION , 2002, vol. 17, n° 4, p. 297-310 Doc n°: 107663 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AF3 - TRAUMATISME CRANIEN, AD6 - MANIFESTATIONS NEUROCOMPORTEMENTALES - FONCTIONS COGNITIVES Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently complicated by disinhibition and aggression. These often profound changes in personality, present obstacles to rehabilitative treatments and community reentry. Syndromal presentations may involve a loss of impulse control, spontaneous aggression, and dysphoric bipolar states. Common neuropathological findings of inferior frontal lobe dysfunction support both disinhibition and kindling models of TBI-induced aggression. Assessment of these highly disruptive symptoms requires detailed historical, clinical, and neuropsychological information to formulate appropriate strategies. Management of TBI-related aggression may involve pharmacological, environmental, and psychotherapeutic strategies that incorporate caregiver training and support.
