Abstract

The study included 90 persons, one year after experiencing closed craniocerebral trauma. The purpose was to determine, by neuropsychological and neurophysiological methods, the presence of cognitive deficit as a result of cerebral trauma. It is possible to objectivize the organically conditioned cognitive deficit in case of a significant number of patients, and also, by the application of certain methodology, to grade the intensity of existing changes. When compared with other examined parameters, the presence of cognitive deficit was more often in patients of older ages and in those with more serious craniocerebral trauma. A special attention was made to the sensitivity of the used instruments for the verification of cognitive deficit. Among them, Wisconsin test and the method of cognitive evoked potential P-300 appeared to be the most reliable ones.
