Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
CTE is a neuropathologic condition that has been described in individuals who have been exposed to repetitive head impacts.

Information
Characteristics
CTE cannot currently be diagnosed during life. Clinical symptoms can develop after a latency phase following the injuries and are not specific. Making differential diagnosis based solely on clinical features difficult. CTE can occur with comorbid pathologies (AD, PD, ALS). CTE and aging-related dementias involve similar changes in aggregation prone molecules.
Risks
- Risk factor for development of chronic neurodegenerative disorders later in life.
- Prolonged secondary injury cascades after CTE can result in chronic neurodegeneration
