Attachment trauma and the effects of neglect & abuse on the brain:Dr. Allan Schore

A short preview of lecture A-123 ‘CNS Traum and Neurovascular Injury’, from the session ‘CNS Emergencies’ at ECR 2014, given by H.A. Rowley from Madison, USA.

Arun S. Chhabra, MD, of Rush University Medical Center, advises that upon referral to a psychiatric specialist, neurologists should follow up with patients to discuss concussion-related concerns that the patient may not feel comfortable discussing with the psychiatric specialist.

Rejean M. Guerriero, DO, of Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, found that children younger than 10 years old recover faster from concussion than those older than 10, a difference that may be the result of more preexisting comorbidities that inhibit recovery in older patients.
