SP - 261 EP - 275 VL - 138 IS - 3 N2 - The authors analyze the personality of cranial-traumatized patients in the years that follow the accident or neuro-surgery. They point out the negative aspect of the behaviors noted: abulia, apathy, selfdenial, passiveness, and especially the failure to recognize the very special syndrome, that is no pure psychosis, nor actual neurosis, not even dementia that is well-known by the neuro-surgeons, badly-known by the experts and forgotten in the tables. The evolution of this syndrome of long duration, it lasts from two to five years, according to circumstances, and for some symptoms or occasionally chronic patients.
