Sequelae of traumatic brain injury include:

2. Language dysfunction: slurred speech, unclear articulation, or even inability to produce sound;
3. Emotional disturbances: irritability and emotional dysregulation;
4. Impaired comprehension and cognition: such as reduced calculation ability and memory;
5. Bladder and bowel dysfunction: requiring interventions such as urinary catheterization.
