Cover Story: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of short and long-term morbidity. For those who require hospital admission, post-traumatic cerebral infarction (PTCI) acutely after TBI is an important but under-recognized complication that is associated with negative clinical outcomes. In this article, we describe the incidence and pathophysiology of PTCI. We then discuss the diagnostic and treatment approaches for the most common etiologies of isolated PTCI, including brain herniation syndromes, cervical artery dissection, venous thrombosis, and post-traumatic vasospasm. We aim to highlight the importance of this condition and future clinical research needs with the goal of improving patient outcomes after TBI. View this paper
