Types of Brain Injuries
There are two ways that brain injuries occur. There are closed and penetrating brain injuries. A description of each is provided below.
Closed Brain Injury
Closed brain injuries occur when the brain injury happens without a break in the skull. Closed brain injuries are often caused by a shaking of the brain within the skull, often with a fast back-and-forth movement. This shaking can cause tearing and bruising of the brain tissue and damage to the blood vessels.
Closed brain injuries can happen in a number of ways. Some of the more common ways are listed below:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Car accidents
- Sports injuries
- Shaken baby syndrome
Penetrating Brain Injury
Penetrating brain injuries occur when the head opens during the injury, meaning there is a break in the skull. These penetrating brain injuries can happen in a variety of ways, including the following:
- Motorcycle accidents
- Vehicle accidents
- Firearms
- Assault
Brain Injuries, Their Symptom, and Long-Term Effects
