Traumatic Brain Injuries Defined
A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force causes brain dysfunction. TBIs usually result from a violent blow or a jolt to the head or body. TBI can also occur when an object penetrates the skull; for example, when a bullet or blunt object pierces the skull.
While a mild traumatic brain injury can cause a temporary loss of consciousness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and sleep disturbances, a severe brain injury can cause:
- Loss of consciousness
- Repeated nausea or vomiting
- Inability to waken from sleep
- Profound confusion
- Slurred speech
- Coma
- Agitation or combativeness
- Numbness in extremities
- Loss of coordination
- Nerve damage
- Vegetative state
- Brain death
Aside from sport injuries and acts of violence, other common causes of traumatic brain injuries include: falls, car accidents, and explosive blasts. In addition to the physical signs and symptoms, brain injuries can also cause a series of intellectual problems that can affect memory, learning, judgment, reasoning, and much more.
