RESUMEN
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects people who had repetitive head trauma. Also, in single traumatic brain injury (TBI), changes may be found during the follow-up visits. We present four clinical cases of patients visited at the Institut Guttmann clinic between 2017 and 2019. They were affected by mild sequelae of severe and unique TBI who have subsequently developed a neurodegenerative disease without a specific diagnosis, and who could meet clinical criteria for chronic traumatic encephalopathy syndrome. Rehabilitation doctors are the professionals with the greatest possibility of identifying a suggestive clinic of this pathology, they can order the appropriate studies and indicate the new rehabilitation goals according to the new neurological situation.
