Traumatic brain injury is damage caused when physical trauma disrupts normal brain function. It is one of the most damaging personal injuries with various repercussions. TBI can cause extensive physical, psychological, and financial strain to victims and their families. Even people with mild symptoms can worsen over time.
While certain brain injuries, such as brain bleeds and fractured skulls, are easy to identify, some termed “moderate” or “mild” injuries are more challenging to locate due to their subtle signs. Knowing signs of traumatic brain injury allows quick diagnosis and treatment, minimizing long-term damage. CDC recognizes a number of issues that may indicate traumatic brain injury. The symptoms include:

Traumatic brain injuries vary in severity, including mild, moderate, and severe. While every brain-related damage is different, they are categorized into two main types: closed head injury and open head injury. These injuries may involve swelling of the brain tissue or an intrusion of the skull.
Open head injury refers to when the skull is cracked or penetrated, driving foreign objects or skull fragments into the brain. The results of open head injury are usually scary due to the high risk involved in removing objects from the brain. Penetrating brain injuries can result from wild animal attacks, gunshots, falling and hitting your head on hard things, or being struck by a sharp object. A closed head injury is a brain injury where the skull remains intact. Although no physical damage is visible outside, your brain may be injured. The common causes of closed head injuries include blunt force, whiplash from rear-end car accidents, and falls. Examples of closed head injuries are hematoma, contusion, coup contrecoup, diffuse axonal injury, and concussions.
A traumatic brain injury is a common cause of death and permanent disability in the US. While anyone can experience brain-related injuries, those most vulnerable to TBIs include infants, adolescents, and the elderly.
TBIs occur when the brain suffers trauma from an external force. This may result in twisting, bruising, tearing, or bleeding of brain tissue, affecting how it works. While brain injuries don’t always cause any visible symptoms at the time of the accident, they may appear later as the tissues bleed and swell. CDC identifies the following as some of the common causes of traumatic brain injuries:
