Types of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries are classified as mild, moderate, or severe. A concussion is a type of mild brain injury.  You can experience a concussion without losing consciousness.  You need not even hit your head.  For example, mild brain injuries can stem from nothing more than the rotational forces exerted on the head in a car accident or on an amusement park ride. Even a mild brain injury can lead to a range of serious and lasting symptoms, including

• Insomnia or fatigue
• Trouble concentrating
• Loss of simple math skills
• Memory loss
• Cognitive dysfunction
• Mood changes
• Vision problems
• Loss of sense of smell
• Depression

A brain injury could have immediate symptoms, or the victim might not notice the signs for days or weeks after an accident. Regardless, most victims with mild brain injuries recover from their symptoms within three months to one year. Unfortunately, more serious brain injuries can cause longer-lasting or permanent difficulties. Relationships may suffer, a victim might lose his or her job, and the victim’s quality of life may steadily decline.

Brain Injury Causes

Any accident that involves a bump or a blow to the head could cause a traumatic brain injury. Common examples include auto accidents, bicycle accidents, sports and diving injuries, falls, struck-by object, construction site accidents, criminal assault, plane crashes, and explosions. A brain injury could involve a crushed or penetrated skull (open head injury) or an unbroken skull (closed head injury). Closed head injuries could cause acquired brain injuries, such as that which results when the brain is deprived of oxygen.
