Today's way of life, with its high level of mechanization and need for speed brings a large number of injuries to the working population. There is usually a wide range of injuries, among which are very often closed head injuries. Until today the whole focus was on the restoration of organic systems and very little attention was given to subtle deficits in the area of cognition and higher intellectual functions. We wanted to point out that there is a great need for neuropsychological examination from the beginning of medical treatment, which will, with tests, point out disturbances which are not visible in the early post-traumatic period, but which will get worse and prevent the normal resocialization and adaptation of the patient to their previous environment after being discharged from hospitals. After the research had been carried out it was obvious that these examinations, as well as the question of destroyed integrity, needed attention because such analyses can, in an early post-traumatic phase, show recovery or the existence of definite disability. We believe that neuropsychological examination needs to be equal to other forms of medical examination.
