Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leading to severe disability is fortunately rare, but when it occurs, the effect on patients and their families can be devastating.

CONCLUSION: This educational article outlines the principles of management of severe TBI from a practical clinical viewpoint, reviews briefly the evidence for effectiveness of rehabilitation and offers an approach to consistent outcome measurement.
