A traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically involves a sudden physical trauma to the head. TBI can result from closed head or a penetrating head injuries. Closed head injuries occur when the head violently strikes an external object, but the object does not penetrate the skull. Penetrating head injuries occur when the object pierces the skull and damages brain tissue.

There are several different types of traumatic injuries that can damage the brain. A skull fracture occurs when the bone of the skull cracks or breaks. A depressed skull fracture occurs when pieces of the broken skull press into the tissue. This can cause bruising of the tissue, called a contusion. A contusion can also occur in response to shaking of the brain within the confines of the skull. Damage to a major blood vessel within the head can cause a hematoma, or heavy bleeding into or around the brain.

The symptoms of TBI are not necessarily dramatic and can involve conditions as unremarkable as a simple headache. Other warning signs of TBI include nausea, seizures, confusion or other cognitive problems, a change in personality, depression, irritability, and other emotional and behavioral problems. Although the symptoms of TBI can be subtle, the effects of TBI are anything but subtle. The consequences of TBI can range from a mild concussion to permanent physical, cognitive, and behavioral / emotional impairments, seizure disorders, paralysis, coma and death.
