Recovery

Recovery patterns from focal traumatic lesions have not been well described. The clinical natural history should be defined by: location, size, bilaterality, and concomitant pathological factors. There is an acute phase, when problems may appear more widespread an less localizable, reflecting in large part the extent of localized reactive pathophysiological processes and diffuse pathologies. There is a subacute phase when localizing effects may be more distinct, and a chronic phase with relatively stable deficits, which are direct consequences of a fixed lesion. The point of stability may be reached in months.
