What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury, or “TBI,” is a type of head injury that may be caused by trauma such as a gunshot fall or blow. A TBI can also be categorized as either open or closed. An open brain injury is one in which the skull is penetrated.
Fortunately, most brain injuries are fairly mild and may not even cause noticeable symptoms. However, brain damage from a TBI can also be permanent or even fatal.
What Are the Different Types of Brain Injuries?
Head injuries are categorized in many ways.
The two largest categories are:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Acquired brain injury (ABI)
Acquired brain injuries are the result of an internal factor, such as a stroke, disease, aneurysm, or a near-drowning.
Brain injuries may also be classified by types including:
- Concussions, the most common type of TBI.
- A localized or focal brain injury which is confined to a single region.
- Diffuse brain injuries (DAI) refer to a brain injury to both sides of the brain when the brain is rotated, shaken, or twisted in the skull.
- Coup-contrecoup injuries happen when the brain suffers a focal or localized injury when the head is struck. A second focal injury happens on the opposite side when the force of the impact causes the brain to move inside the skull.
- Brain contusions or bruises.
- Intracranial hematomas, which can happen when a contusion doesn’t heal properly. They refer to large collections of blood outside the vessels.
Brain injuries may cause primary or secondary damage. A primary injury happens when there is sudden profound brain damage caused by trauma. Secondary brain injuries refer to damage that occurs over time after a primary injury.
