Types of Brain Injuries
A brain injury is a form of a head injury that is so severe that it leads to brain damage. Many types of brain injuries exist, ranging from mild to severe and life-threatening. Several common types of brain injuries exist:
- Hematoma – occurs when blood vessels clot in the brain. This clotting leads to pressure buildup, loss of consciousness, and permanent brain damage.
- Hemorrhage – uncontrolled bleeding in or around the brain, leading to pressure buildup and damage.
- Concussion – occurs when the head receives a severe impact and the brain impacts the skull. Concussions are common in car accidents and can lead to lasting damage and potential death.
- Edema – occurs when a brain injury leads to swelling in the brain. Edema can lead to pressure buildup in the skull.
- Diffuse axonal injury – occurs when an injury causes damage to the brain cells. It can lead to swelling, permanent brain damage, and death.
