A traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to
damage or injury to the brain caused by an
external force, such as a blow or jolt to the
head or a penetrating object that disrupts the
normal functioning of the brain.
What is TBI?
Causes of TBI
 Falls: Falls are the leading cause of TBI, especially among children and older
adults.
 Motor vehicle accidents: Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian
accidents can result in TBI when the head strikes an object or experiences a
sudden impact.
 Assaults: Physical attacks, such as those that occur during fights, have the
potential to cause TBI.
 Explosive blasts: Military personnel and civilians exposed to explosive blasts
may suffer TBI from the shockwaves generated by the explosion.
Types of TBI
 Closed Head Injury: Occurs when the head is struck or jolted, but the skull
remains intact. It can result in brain swelling, bleeding, bruising, and other forms
of damage.
 Penetrating Head Injury: Occurs when an object penetrates the skull and enters
the brain, causing localized damage.
Symptoms of TBI
 Physical symptoms: Headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of
consciousness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, sensory disturbances, and motor
impairments.
 Cognitive symptoms: Memory problems, difficulty concentrating or paying
attention, confusion, slowed thinking, difficulties with problem-solving,
reasoning, and judgment.
 Emotional symptoms: Mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, and
changes in behavior and personality.
 Sensory symptoms: Changes in vision, hearing, taste, or smell.
 Communication and language difficulties: Difficulty speaking, slurred speech,
difficulty understanding or expressing language.
