Abstract
Traumatic dementia, also known as post-traumatic dementia or traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related dementia, is a debilitating condition arising from severe head injuries. This form of dementia is distinct from other neurodegenerative disorders, as its onset is directly linked to traumatic incidents that inflict damage on the brain. The pathophysiology involves intricate cascades of events, including neuronal damage, inflammation, and the development of tau and beta-amyloid pathology. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of traumatic dementia, exploring its epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and current understanding of its underlying mechanisms. Additionally, potential preventive measures and therapeutic interventions will be discussed in light of the current research landscape. Traumatic dementia refers to a form of cognitive decline resulting from severe head injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). This condition arises when a traumatic event causes significant damage to the brain, leading to persistent cognitive deficits and functional impairments. Traumatic dementia encompasses a spectrum of cognitive disorders, including but not limited to post-traumatic dementia, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and other related conditions. This abstract provides an overview of the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and potential therapeutic interventions for traumatic dementia. Understanding the complexities of traumatic dementia is crucial for healthcare professionals, researchers, and caregivers involved in the assessment, management, and support of individuals affected by this condition.
