Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) or Acquired Brain Injury (AIB) is one of the most challenging injuries to treat. This is because the patient needs long term clinical care and hospitalization and continuing treatment as in-patient and out-patient. All head injuries can be serious, but when the brain is injured by an external force there can be grim consequences not just for the victim, but also for the entire family.
TBI can cause disability, paralysis, physical, emotional, cognitive, social and behavioral effects and even death in some cases. A violent blow to the head, neck or face or an object penetrating the skull, crush injuries etc can cause damage to the brain.
Typical symptoms include:
- Loss of consciousness
- Confusion, dazed/disoriented feeling
- Headache with nausea/vomiting
- Fatigue
- Speech/memory problems
- Sleep-disturbances
- Loss of balance
- Visual/hearing/sensory disturbances
- Over-sensitivity to sound/light
- Memory/concentration problems
- Depression/Mood-swings
- Violence
- Convulsions/seizures
- Eye-pupil dilation
- Clear discharge from nose/ears
In small children, changes in nursing/feeding habits, behavioral differences, persistent crying, lack of interest, etc may signal TBI. It’s wise to know how to find the best accident injury lawyer to get a proper diagnosis through tests conducted by the best brain trauma centers immediately.
