He demonstrated subtle deficits on several measures 1 mo after the trauma. Repeat testing at 8 mo showed apparent recovery, and the patient was cleared to return to flight status. Unbeknownst to medical staff, the patient was still experiencing difficulties. He was found in a severely debilitated state and exhibiting psychotic features 12 mo after his initial trauma. The patient was hospitalized in a psychiatric ward, and with prolonged inpatient and outpatient treatment, he eventually recovered.
