Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Huang Shichang
The sequelae of severe craniocerebral injury vary depending on the individual patient's condition. In some patients with severe brain trauma, widespread damage to the cerebral cortex may occur, leading to reduced cognitive function and resulting in intellectual impairment. Severe head injuries may also damage the optic nerve, causing vision loss. Some individuals may experience visual field defects, while others may lose their sense of smell due to olfactory nerve damage.
