What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in normal brain function caused by an external force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. TBIs can range from mild (like a concussion) to severe, potentially leading to long-term complications or death.

Common types of brain injuries include:

  • Concussion: A concussion is a mild TBI caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that disrupts normal brain function. It can lead to temporary symptoms like headache, dizziness, confusion, and memory issues.
  • Contusion: A contusion is a bruise on the brain caused by direct impact. It may involve bleeding or swelling and, if severe, might require surgical intervention.
  • Coup-Contrecoup Injury: This type of injury happens when the brain hits both the side of impact and the opposite side of the skull. It results in damage at two locations due to the brain’s movement inside the skull.
  • Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI): DAI is caused by strong rotational forces, like in car accidents, which stretch and tear nerve fibers. It often leads to loss of consciousness or coma due to widespread brain cell damage.
  • Penetrating Injury: A penetrating TBI occurs when an object breaks through the skull and enters the brain tissue. These injuries are usually severe and require immediate emergency care.
  • Hematomas: Hematomas are blood clots or bleeding in or around the brain, typically caused by trauma. They can compress brain tissue and may need surgical drainage depending on size and location.
  • Second Impact Syndrome: This rare condition occurs when a second concussion happens before the first one has healed. It can cause rapid and severe brain swelling, often with fatal outcomes.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

While any brain injury can be serious, TBIs are considered to be the most severe. These injuries can be extremely difficult for the victim and their family, causing a heavy burden. If you notice the following symptoms, be sure to seek immediate medical care and legal counsel.
