摘要：Introduction: Organic Personality Disorder (OPD) post traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often dismissed due to lack of clear brain damage and alteration in usual psychometrics (WAIS). Objective: An exploratory study of 9 cases of post TBI OPD. Patients and methods: We analyzed 9 previously undiagnosed cases of post TBI OPD. Results: The patien shad no neuroimaging abnormalities (TAC), but some altered psychometric tests, and consistent and dramatic changes in their co nitions, behaviors and emotions, but were not diagnosed with OPD. Discussion: medical teams seem to consider more the indemnity of neuroimaging than clinical evidence or neuropsychological testing, and tend to dismiss the diagnosis of TOP. Conclusion: The diagnosis of TOP should be considered in cases of mild TBI when they suggest the clinic.
