Manía secundaria tras traumatismo craneal

La manía secundaria se ha asociado a múltiples causas o enfermedades somáticas, entre ellas los traumatismos craneales, aunque éstos sean casos infrecuentes y relacionados principalmente con lesiones cerebrales, siendo extremadamente raros los comunicados tras traumatismo craneal sin daño cerebral subyacente. En este sentido se expone un caso de manía tras traumatismo craneal, realizándose al efecto una breve revisión de la literatura.

Secondary mania has been associated with multiple causes and somatic diseases. It has also been associated with brain injuries, although such cases are rare and are usually described in relation to brain lesions. Cases of secondary mania after head injury without underlying brain lesions are extremely rare. We report a case of mania after head injury and provide a brief review of the literature.
