Mixed Brain Syndromes

Abstract

The majority of brain disorders may involve multiple locations or diffuse dysfunction attributable to more than one brain regions. This might be the case following a traumatic brain injury where physical events involving shearing forces and stretching of tissues are involved. These features may follow a seemingly localized cerebrovascular accident where vasodynamic influences, edema, and pressure effects are at play and potentially affecting far-field brain regions. The multitude of combined syndromes is well beyond the scope of these writings. However, one potential categorical example may be provided in the case of foreign-accent syndrome(s).
