Resumo

Cognitive impairments of the patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been studied in the first year of evolution extensively. The objective of this work is to study the cognitive deficits of the TBI after two years at follow up. We analyzed 42 adult patients with severe closed TBI that underwent a neuropsychological assessment of a wide range of cognitive functions. We compared the performance of the patients with the scores standard for the normal population. The results show a decrease in performance of all cognitive functions: general intelligence, attention, visual visuoperception and reasoning, memory, learning, verbal functions, aca-demic skills, and executive functions. The lowest scores are given on the function of complex attention. This has important implica-tions for cognitive rehabilitation of patients with closed TBI.
