    AbstractCatatonia is a poorly understood and underrecognized psychomotor condition characterized by three or more catatonic symptoms, commonly including abnormalities in speech, affect, and movement. Catatonia is generally associated with psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but may be seen in general medical conditions and rarely after physical trauma. Here, we present the first pediatric case of catatonia following traumatic brain injury as well as the first case of catatonia in any patient following minor traumatic brain injury.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
