Types Of Traumatic Brain Injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries come in a variety of forms.
• According to the CDC, a traumatic brain injury is a “change in brain function caused by an external force.”
• This can be anything from a bump or blow to the head to a gunshot wound or car accident.

Closed brain injuries are the most common type of traumatic brain injury. They occur when an external force damages the skull but does not penetrate it.
This causes damage due to the impact of the external object on the skull. The symptoms depend on which area of the brain is affected but can include headaches, nausea, vomiting, and loss of memory.

If left untreated, this type of traumatic brain injury can lead to infections such as meningitis which can be fatal if not treated right away.

Statistically speaking, this type of injury is relatively rare compared to closed brain injuries. However, it is important to note that penetrating brain injuries are more severe than closed ones because they can damage vital parts of the brain such as the frontal lobe.

• Diffuse axonal injury refers to when the areas of the brain that are responsible for cognitive functions are damaged.
• This causes problems with communication within the brain, which in turn causes impaired concentration and difficulty processing information.
• Symptoms can include memory loss, dizziness, confusion, slurred speech, and eye-rolling. It can lead to comas.

• A primary brain injury occurs suddenly and all at once.
• It happens at the time of impact and can have an immediate effect on brain function.
• When a person sustains a primary brain injury, it is most likely they will lose consciousness for a period. However, many primary injuries do not result in any loss of consciousness at all since the effects are instantaneous.
• This includes car accidents, blows to the head, and falls.

• Unlike primary injuries, secondary ones happen over time.
• Over the course of several minutes, hours, or even days after the initial brain injury has occurred. It is possible for a secondary injury to occur in the same incident that gave rise to the primary one. Secondary injuries can include swelling of the brain tissue due to bleeding or bruising. This can cause compression on other regions of the brain and lead to a loss of function. Both children and adults can sustain a traumatic brain injury due to an accident or another person’s actions.
