Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Falls, assaults and road traffic accidents are the most common causes, with alcohol precipitating 65% of adult cases. The incidence of TBI is highest in men. As the UK population ages, however, the incidence of TBI in the elderly is rising. Approximately 1 million people affected in the UK have long-term sequelae, and GPs should be aware of the common causes and consequences of TBI. This article will focus primarily on mild TBI in adults.
