Traumatic injury affects millions of people each year. There is little understanding of the extent of psychiatric illness that develops after traumatic injury or the impact of mild traumatic brain injury on psychiatric illness. The authors sought to determine the range of new psychiatric disorders occurring after traumatic injury and the influence of mild on psychiatric status.

to study the clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of the psychiatric temporal syndrome appearance.

We illustrate a clinical label and we discuss the therapeutic strategies according to the literature data.

Mr A M, 30 years old without pathological antecedent, was a victim on the 03rd of August, 2014 of road accident causing a head trauma with loss of consciousness for more than 5 min. A cerebral scanner revealed an epidural temporal left haematoma. Mr A M was operated. After ten days, he developed a delirium and a disorder of behaviour like fugues, agitation; a disorder language type paralogism and neologism. A control cerebral scanner was showed any aggravation of injuries. We used atypical neuroleptic associated with carbamazepine for the treatment. The evolution was marked by symptoms improvement.

Significant range of psychiatric disorders occurs after traumatic injury. The identification and treatment of these disorders are important for optimal adaptation after traumatic injury.
