We have herein discussed criteria, organic mechanism and psychological background of a case which developed acute psychic symptoms following head trauma. With regard to criteria, we compared the American and German concepts, suggesting that the American concept of DSM-III (Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, third edition) was more frequently applied recently. With regard to organic mechanism, we suggested that brain edema might be related to the emergence of symptoms, because brain CT scan showed brain edema during the period of acute psychic symptoms. With regard to psychological background, we stated that the character before trauma was also important for understanding of acute psychic symptoms. We lastly emphasize that acute psychic symptoms can not be correctly understood until we consider various factors.
