Abstract: Stroke and traumatic brain injury are considered as the two leading causes of disability worldwide. A high rate of patients who have brain damage will develop severe chronic sequelae in spite of receiving an appropriate rehabilitation program. As acute brain injury mortality has declined in recent years, the number of surviving patients who require chronic rehabilitation has increased as well as the up-rising in cost of prolonged treatment. Available studies suggest rather a tendency of changing in age onset of damage, instead of a true reduction in its frequency. On the other hand, treatment for acute brain damage has not demonstrated better results in decreasing disability either in rate or in severity. Strategies for neuro-rehabilitation must be a priority for health systems worldwide. Author’s focusing on the current status of management and rehabilitation for acute brain damage in adult are discussed.
