Aims:

Latency period between brain damage and the beginning of the psychotic symptoms is a very controversial remark, when we are trying to sharpen in the etiology of a postraumatic psychosis.

Methods:

Our work is based on a systemic review of the articles published related to TBI and psychosis.

Results and conclusions:

The average latency period is between 4 and 5 years, including a wide range of time from days to years.

Results may not be very accurate because in some articles any psychotic sympton is included even if there is not a complete psychotic disorder as described in DSM-IV.
