Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a very common form of blunt head injury. It is distinct form of head injury, occurring due to impact of external forces like acceleration/deceleration acting directly at the time of the trauma, and not produced by secondary changes like hypoxia, brain swelling or raised intracranial pressure. DAI is associated with sizeable mortality and morbidity. There is always some disability remained as a sequel on recovery from such injury. Case Study: Here is a case study having DAI following severe head injury suffered in a road traffic accident and modern surgical line of treatment failed to treat the vegetative state but this challenging case was recovered completely on Ayurvedic line of treatment. It was a heartening finding that there was complete recovery without any disability. Conclusion: This case study established that Ayurved is capable of playing important role in the recovery of such complicated cases and preventing deaths.
