Head injury may result in a confusing array of physical and psychological changes. It leads subtle and temporary lapses in ability and behavior. We evaluated a case of head injury with the help of neuropsychological battery and treated with cognitive retraining. A 53-year-old male working as a stenographer with well-adjusted premorbid personality without family history of any psychiatric illness was brought with the complaints of forgetfulness, unable to concentrate on one thing, for last 3 years. On detailed history patient reported that he had been a victim of road traffic accident around seven years back and had a head injury at that time, for which neurosurgery was also performed. To assess his current level of cognitive functioning, and to assess the cognitive impairments in various lobe functions, NIMHANS Neuropsychological Battery was administered. His attention, concentration, comprehension, visual and verbal memory was found to be moderately impaired on test findings, which were affecting his day-to-day functioning. Mild impairment was also found on visual spatial perception. Result demonstrated mild to moderate level of impairments in the functioning of temporal lobe, parietal lobe and in frontal lobe functioning. Cognitive retraining was done for the required cognitive functions and improvement found in follow up sessions.Keywords

Neurological disease may leave the patients in a permanent vegetative state. The caregivers of the patients waiting outside of the ICU remained burdened regarding the outcome chances, whether the patients will come out fully functional or in a vegetative state. Sometimes there perceptions are changed as a result of their knowledge and closeness to the patients. To explore the knowledge, attitude and perception regarding ICU care a semi-structured interview was conducted on the 200 caregivers of ICU patients. Demographic details and responses to a questionnaire assessing the knowledge, attitude and perceptions were recorded. Results of the study shows that majority of the caregivers reported that waiting room was comfortable (78%), and desirous to participate in ICU care (60.5%) and wish the family presence should be mandatory protocol (58%). Almost the whole sample (91.5%) agreed that it was necessary to wash hands before going to ICU. The caregivers reported that they had no knowledge of brain death (44%), lack of knowledge regarding permanent vegetative state (41.5%), high treatment cost is not justified (73.5%) and had negative treatment outcome perception (95%).Keywords
