Most Common Causes of Brain Injuries

1. Motor Vehicle Accidents

One of the most common causes of brain injuries is a traffic accident. Even with today’s advancements in vehicle safety, victims can still suffer concussion, whiplash and penetrating brain injuries in a crash. All are considered traumatic brain injuries and require immediate medical attention.

2. Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are one of the leading causes of serious injuries and deaths to senior citizens. While most of us would probably just suffer a few scrapes and bruises from a fall, it can prove fatal to the elderly or those with preexisting conditions if they hit their heads and suffer a brain injury.

Slip and fall accidents from greater heights, such as a flight of stairs can also leave the victim with serious injuries, regardless of their age.

3. Work Injuries

Those who work in the construction industry, manufacturing or warehouses are at greater risk of suffering a brain injury on the job. They may fall from great heights, be hit by heavy equipment or be injured by malfunctioning equipment.

4. Violence

Criminal acts can lead to brain injuries. It can be from an assault or being shot in the head. Note that you can file a civil case against the person who attacked you even if they aren’t prosecuted or found guilty in criminal court.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a physical blow to the head. They can be closed or open injuries that penetrate the skull. While some TBIs are mild and can be treated with rest, others require more intensive medical treatment and could lead to permanent injury. Here is a guide to understanding the various types of TBIs.

Concussion 

A concussion is one of the most common types of traumatic brain injury. It occurs when an impact or sudden jolt to the head causes the brain to shake inside the skull, resulting in damage to nerve cells and other tissues. Symptoms of a concussion include headaches, dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, nausea, ringing in ears, fatigue, slurred speech, memory loss, and sensitivity to light or sound.

Contusion 

A contusion is a bruise on the brain caused by direct trauma to the head or neck area. Contusions usually occur when an object directly strikes the head or if it collides with a hard surface such as a wall or floor. Symptoms of contusions include severe headache, confusion and disorientation, seizures or convulsions, vomiting and nausea, dilation of pupils in one eye only (unequal pupil size), paralysis on one side of the body (hemiplegia), difficulty speaking (aphasia) and changes in behavior.   

Diffuse Axonal Injury 

A diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs when there is widespread damage across multiple areas of the brain due to rapid acceleration or deceleration forces, such as what happens in shaken baby syndrome or during whiplash-type events such as those seen in motor vehicle accidents. Symptoms of DAI include coma or persistent vegetative state (PVS), confusion and disorientation, difficulty speaking/understanding language (aphasia/dysphasia), difficulty staying awake/alert (lethargy/coma), dilated pupils on both eyes (unequal pupil size), weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis/hemiplegia), sleep disturbances and changes in behavior.
