A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be caused by any type of trauma to the head. The brain itself is divided into four primary regions, including:
The severity of any brain injury will depend on a few different factors, including the area that has been damaged and the type of damage involved.
There are two primary forms of brain injury: traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and non-traumatic brain injuries. Both can be severe.
Traumatic brain injuries often occur because of some external trauma. Non-traumatic brain injuries (or acquired brain injuries) are caused by internal factors, such as a stroke, infection, near-drowning, or lack of oxygen.
TBI can be further classified as open-head injuries or closed-head injuries. Open-head injuries occur when the skull is penetrated by a foreign object (such as a gunshot wound). Closed-head injuries typically occur when the brain comes into contact with the skull. A concussion is the most common type of closed-head trauma.
Some common types of brain injuries include:
A brain injury can happen in an instant. However, some brain injuries develop over time–within the hours or days after the primary impact. These secondary brain injuries can be extremely serious. That’s why it’s always important to get medical attention immediately if you’ve been involved in an accident.
Doctors use the Glasgow Coma Scale to measure the severity of a brain injury. The signs and symptoms of a TBI will depend on where the injury ranks on this scale.
Some brain injuries are relatively mild. Signs and symptoms of a mild brain injury may include:
The signs of a serious brain injury can be more dramatic and may include:
These symptoms don’t always appear immediately. It’s important to carefully monitor for signs of a brain injury after an accident–and to seek immediate medical care if you notice anything unusual.
The brain is responsible for ensuring that the entire body functions properly. It receives messages and sends signals throughout the body. It’s also responsible for a person’s actions and personality.
Because of that, the long-term consequences of serious brain damage can be both dramatic and far-reaching.
Brain injury victims often suffer long-term:
Often, the damage caused to the brain can get worse with time. In other words, it can take some time to fully appreciate the long-term consequences you may be facing.
