Abstract

Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity is a phenomenon that occurs in individuals, regardless of age and sex, after brain damage. It is a physiological response where increased activity of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system is seen, but in turn there is hormonal influence, which is evidenced in the clinical manifestations of the patient. Neurosurgeons must know and identify this alteration in our patients in a timely manner.
