abstract ={The incidence of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is gradually increasing, and its integrated treatment
and rehabilitation in early-stage is increasingly valued by working together with doctors in surgical intensive
care unit (SICU), surgeons and rehabilitation doctors. In this report, we presented a seven-year-old child
was hit on the right side of the head by a falling glass from the building, causing severe TBI, starting from
emergency room (ER), SICU, neurosurgery, spine surgery, whole–process and intensive rehabilitation. The
child functionally regained some of his motor functions and most of his cognitive functions step by step
from coma to cognition and was expected to return to his schooling finally. The authors of this report discuss
the necessity and effectiveness of multidisciplinary integration and early intervention in rehabilitation. The
case exhibited that multiple rehabilitation procedures would be conducted in whole process of patients with
trauma. Furthermore, rehabilitation physician and therapist play critical roles in evaluation and handling of
treatment strategy for precise movement and cognitive functional recovery. Particularly, the cognitive
function assessment and treatment has significantly performed in making decision on the opportunity of
operation of hydrocephalus. All above, the case offered the model of the integrated rehabilitation in severe
TBI.}
