The Role of Neuropsychology in the Management of Spinal Cord Injury: A Comprehensive Literature Review.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses a complex set of physiological, psychological, and cognitive challenges that significantly affect an individual's quality of life.

The Role of Neuropsychology in Traumatic Brain Injury: Comprehensive Literature Review.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern, often leading to significant behavioral and cognitive changes with subsequent impairment in daily functioning and personal interactions. The management of TBI involves a multidisciplinary approach. Neuropsychology has emerged as a critical discipline in assessing, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating individuals with TBI.

Advanced Neck Dermatillomania Leading to Cervical Osteomyelitis and Epidural Abscess.

Dermatillomania, a condition characterized by compulsive skin picking, can lead to tissue damage and severe infections of adjacent structures. This case report presents the first documented instance of dermatillomania-induced cervical osteomyelitis and epidural abscess. Herein, we describe the case of a 45-year-old male patient with a history of a non-healing posterior neck wound, which progressively worsened and extended to the posterior cervical spine.
