What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption of normal brain function due to trauma. It’s something that can occur in a single incident or over multiple events, rather than resulting from a disease or chronic condition. TBI causes neurological disruptions that can be physical, mental, or emotional.
Types of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury may include the following:
- Concussion
- Skull fracture
- Piercing the skull, penetration
- Brain bruise
- Diffuse axonal injury
- Chronic traumatic encephalopathy
- Loss of consciousness
Sometimes, a person with a serious brain injury looks to have no issue. Injuries can be subtle, such as irritability or cognitive difficulties, but severe. Changes in the brain may also be more obvious, such as a loss of consciousness.
