Abstract
Mania secondary to head injury is reported to be rare. Two cases of florid manic psychoses following head injury are reported along with neurological and neuropsychological investigations. Findings on the Luria Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery (LNNB) suggested residual cognitive deficits, predominantly of right hemisphere. Temporal proximity, clinical neurological findings, EEG changes and deficits on LNNB suggest a causal link between head injury and mania.Keywords
