The multiform consequences of severe contusional head injury can be classified in three groups of damaged functions. There are (a) neurological disturbances (b) neuropsychiatric disorders and (c) dysregulations from the central vegetative nervous system. In this paper we can refer only to the last, taking them as an example to illustrate some special phenomena shown by head injured foreign workers.
