abstract="OBJECTIVE: To report a case of Alzheimer's disease (AD) following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). <br><br>METHOD: Case report. <br><br>RESULTS: We report the time course of AD following mild TBI with evidence of AD pathology. A patient complained of minor memory disturbance 6 months after TBI and was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment 1.5 years after TBI, and she was finally diagnosed as probable AD 4 years after TBI. Amyloid PET revealed brain accumulation of beta-amyloid at a pathological AD level. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Our case well illustrated how TBI can accelerate the AD process. Clinicians should carefully follow up patients with persistent cognitive impairment after TBI.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
