Organic brain syndrome (OBS) can be characterized by varying degrees of confusion, delirium (severe, short-term loss of brain function), agitation, and dementia (long-term, often progressive, loss of brain function).OBS is associated with a number of different disorders, including degenerative disorders, cardiovascular disorders, trauma-induced brain injury, dementia due to metabolic causes, respiratory conditions, infections, drug and alcohol related conditions, and other medical disorders.The bottom line is that instead of a specific pathophysiology causing OBS you have multiple pathologic pathways.
