Chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Original language description

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is an illness mostly presenting in athletes that causes many severe health complications. Objective: The objective of the overview study is to analyze chronic traumatic encephalopathy research studies from the perspective of diagnostic options. Methods: For the analysis, selected research studies were used from scientific databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science regardless of their publishing date. The search was conducted via keywords: chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE, boxer syndrome, sport, dementia pugilistic, punch drunk syndrome. The results of the analysis show that the most common diagnostic method of CTE is the autopsy, less common are neuropsychological examinations, and using imaging methods - namely the PDDNP-PET (but only in one case). Results: The study states that there is a causal link between CTE and the number of brain concussions where the higher the number of concussions, the higher the risk of developing CTE. Conclusion: The quality of life of persons suffering from CTE is very low due to the health complications that usually lead to developing dementia. That is why it is crucial to focus on timely diagnosis of this illness.
