Types of Brain Injuries
The severity of a brain injury can depend on many different factors, such as the type of accident or the age of the victim. Though the brain is protected by the skull, it is still fragile and vulnerable to injury. Some of the types of brain injuries that may occur include:
- Bleeding in the brain
- Bruising in the brain
- Concussion
- Skull fracture
- Coup and contrecoup injuries
- Brain swelling
Post-Concussive Syndrome
Even with a minor head injury, an individual may experience ongoing effects that have an impact on his or her daily life. Often times, the side effects occurring after a brain injury can be ascribed to post-concussive syndrome. This syndrome may appear days, weeks, months, or even years after the head injury was initially sustained.
Minor Symptoms Can Indicate a Larger Problem
A brain injury may not be immediately apparent after an accident. Speech problems, memory issues, dexterity interruptions and problems with daily tasks can indicate that a brain injury may have been suffered. It is important to seek medical attention immediately after an accident, even if symptoms are not being experienced right away.
