Historical Perspective
Head injury and the immediate after effects has been known to humanity since the earliest civilizations and has been discussed in almost all civilizations. In almost all civilizations, head injuries were found in areas where weapons such as spears are more prevalent, suggesting war as primary reason for TBI just like modern times. There were biblical references about traumatic brain injury. The anatomy of head injuries and their treatment was discussed in the oldest known surgical literature of Egypt, the papyrus. Trephination is perhaps the oldest invasive procedure done for traumatic brain injury, and it was used to clear the blood from the skull after the injuries. Over the ages, the technique of craniotomy has only become more advanced. The effects of mild TBI such as concussion was first described in Greek text and in 10th century, a Persian author differentiated concussion from other TBI. In modern medicine,
