Does A Severe TBI Linked To PD?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Sewell, NJ

I sustained a depressed skull dx and subdural hematoma during a MVA at age seven. Then, sometime shortly after the injuries and subsequent craniotomy, I had a silent stroke. Could I have possibly developed Parkinson’s Disease as a result of these events?

Either or both. Traumatic brain injury is a known cause of PD and strokes can cause vascular parkinsonism
