Types of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can vary greatly in severity. Here are some of the most common types:
Concussions:
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Although symptoms like dizziness, nausea, or headache are common, concussions are often overlooked. In some cases, these injuries can lead to long-term effects, including persistent headaches or difficulty concentrating. Even if the injury seems minor, it can affect your brain function over time, particularly if you've experienced multiple concussions.
Contusions:
A contusion refers to a bruise on the brain tissue caused by a direct impact. These injuries can cause swelling and bleeding in the brain, leading to serious complications. The severity of a contusion depends on its size and location, and it can sometimes require surgery to relieve pressure or stop bleeding. Larger contusions can lead to permanent brain damage.
Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI):
DAI occurs when the brain is rapidly shifted inside the skull, typically from a high-impact event like a car accident. This causes widespread damage to the brain’s nerve fibers, often leading to unconsciousness. DAI is one of the most severe types of brain injury and may result in long-term disability or even death.
Coup-Contrecoup Injury:
This injury happens when the brain moves within the skull due to a sudden impact. The brain can hit one side of the skull (coup) and then rebound to strike the opposite side (contrecoup). This double impact can lead to bruising on both sides of the brain and cause severe cognitive and physical impairments.
