Resumo

Objetivo: Realizar revisão de literatura sobre traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) como fator desencadeador de neurodegeneração crônica, um tema de grande relevância médica, principalmente para neurocirurgiões, dado que é uma condição que necessita de informações adequadas, para um manejo correto e não acarretar pior prognóstico. Métodos: Realizou-se uma busca pela literatura utilizando as bases Medline, PubMed e ResearchGate com as palavras-chaves “Traumatismo cranioencefálico”, “Neurodegeneração”, “Demências”, “Doença de Alzheimer”, “Consequências crônicas”, “Encefalopatia pós-traumática crônica”. Teve como finalidade compreender a relação de causa-efeito entre o TCE como fator desencadeador de neurodegeneração crônica. Resultados: O TCE é um problema de saúde pública e uma das principais causas de morte e incapacidade, podendo ter consequências significativas na saúde e qualidade de vida dos pacientes, demonstrando ser um fator de risco para deficiências cognitivas. Pesquisas recentes têm mostrado uma associação entre o TCE e a neurodegeneração do sistema nervoso central. Conclusão: Com as avançadas técnicas da neurocirurgia tem sido possível salvar muitas vidas. Compreender as características da demência após TCE é de extrema importância para um tratamento adequado, mesmo na ausência de um tratamento efetivo para bloquear o aparecimento das doenças é possível implementar terapias preventivas que minimizam os efeitos e melhoram o prognóstico.

Abstract

Objective: to review the literature of traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a triggering factor for chronic neurodegeneration, a medical topic of high relevance, especially for neurosurgeons, since it is a condition that requires adequate information, so that with a correct management it will not result in worse prognosis. Methods: Literature review article using Medline, PubMed, ResearchGate datrabase using as keywords “Traumatic brain injury”, “Neurodegeneration”, “Dementia”, “Alzheimer’s Disease”, “Chronic consequences”, “Chronic post-traumatic encephalopathy”. Our aim was to understand the cause-effect relationship between TBI as a risk factor of chronic neurodegeneration. Results: TBI is a public health problem and one of the main causes of death and disability, and can have significant consequences on the health and quality of life of patients, showing to be a risk factor for cognitive impairments. Recent research has shown an association between TBI and central nervous system neurodegeneration. Conclusion: With the advanced techniques of neurosurgery, it has been possible to save many lives. The understanding of the characteristics of dementia after TBI is extremely important for a correct treatment, even if there is no effective treatment to block the onset of diseases it is possible to implement preventive therapies that minimize the effects and improve the prognosis.
