The role of cerebral ptosis in assessing recovery and prognosis in traumatic brain injury: a case report
This case suggests that cerebral ptosis-particularly its transition from bilateral to unilateral-can serve as a dynamic and clinically useful marker of neurological recovery in TBI patients. Careful monitoring of ptosis patterns, in conjunction with neuroimaging and functional assessments, may enhance early detection of consciousness recovery and guide individualized rehabilitation strategies.
