Traumatic Brain Injury Information
The brain serves
as the control center for a variety of conscious activities, such as talking
and walking, as well as unconscious body activities, like breathing and
heart rate. A brain injury can disrupt some or all body activities. Depending
on the severity of the injury, the effects can be devastating. Traumatic
brain injury can result from a fracture or a penetration of the skull.
Damage to the brain may occur at the time the head impacts a hard surface.
It may also occur later because of swelling and bleeding into the brain
or bleeding around the brain.
Traumatic brain injury can also result from a "closed head
injury." In such a case, there is no penetration of the skull. Often
times, there are no obvious signs of external damage. A closed head injury
often occurs when there is a rapid acceleration or deceleration of the
head, like in the case of shaken baby syndrome. Closed head injuries usually
result in more widespread damage to the brain and, therefore, cause more
extensive neurological defects.
