Abstract

Introduction: Head trauma cases can be converted to dementia during the follow-up period. This condition is called "post-traumatic dementia (PTD)". Dementia can be classified according to clinical stages. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference between clinical stages of PTD and laboratory, neuroimaging, neuropsychological tests.
