Abstract

Background/Objectives: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex condition and a leading cause of injury-related disability and death, with significant impacts on patient outcomes. Extracranial organ involvement plays a critical role in the outcome of patients following TBI. Method: This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and challenges in diagnosing patients with autonomic dysfunction after TBI. The databases used in this review include PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register, and Scopus. Results: Of 172 articles identified for screening, 98 were ultimately included in the review. Conclusion: This review summarized the current evidence on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of early autonomic dysfunction. It also emphasizes the effects of autonomic dysfunction on end-organ damage. These insights aim to guide clinicians and researchers toward improving the care for and understanding of autonomic dysfunction in TBI patients, while underscoring the need for further research in this area.
