ABSTRACT=Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) therapy has been suggested a treatment option in order to reduce the development of secondary insults succeeding traumatic brain injury (TBI). This case report studied the course of a 23-year-old gentleman with a close range trans-hemispheric gunshot wound. The biochemical parameters, using a multi-modal monitoring in the neuro-intensive care unit, improved following HBO treatment.
