Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a physical brain injury comprised of an external force or a high-intensity acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull that can produce anatomical damage or functional impairment in the follicle. hair, skull, or meninges in both human and veterinary medicine is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Brain lesions in TBI can be classified as diffuse and focal. The management of patients with TBI is based on rapid stabilization, diagnosis and control of secondary lesions. The recovery of the animal generally depends on the severity of the injury, the quality and the speed in the institution of treatment. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of brain injury in traumatic brain injury is fundamental for the establishment of clinical and surgical therapeutic measures. This report addresses the clinical follow-up between June 9 and 18, 2018. The feline named Belchior, male, no defined race, mixed-breed, approximately 1.2 years old, castrated, living with another feline, residing at home but regularly passed through adjacent residences. He was seen at a private veterinary clinic, totally oblivious to external and environmental stimuli, at the level of stupor awareness, with superficial abrasions in the oral (right lip commissure) and infra orbital (right) regions. Material was collected for laboratory tests and, after gathering the information obtained and observations of the animal, there was clinical suspicion of TBI. At the end of the follow-up, among variations in the clinical picture, the animal died on 06/18/2018 at approximately 03:00 in the morning.
