Key Points

To determine the incidence, clinical correlates, and lesion locations associated with secondary mania during the first year following traumatic brain injury.
Evaluated a consecutive cohort of 66 patients with closed-head injury in the hospital and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups using semistructured psychiatric interviews.
Assessed impairment in activities of daily living, intellectual function, and social functioning, comparing patients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for mania against those with major depression or no affective disturbance across lesion sites.
Secondary mania occurred in 6 patients (9%) during the 1-year follow-up, typically presenting as a brief disturbance lasting approximately 2 months.
The presence of temporal basal polar lesions was significantly associated with secondary mania, even after adjusting for the presence of other lesion locations.
Mania showed no significant association with initial injury severity, extent of physical or cognitive impairment, social functioning, or personal/family psychiatric history.
