What Are Some Types of Neurological Injuries?
There are several types of neurological injuries that can occur. In almost every case the injury is caused by a sudden blow to the head. The amount of force exerted on impact often determines the type and severity of the injury.
- Concussion: When your brain moves rapidly back and forth inside the skull; can include a short loss of consciousness. While concussions are generally categorized as mild traumatic brain injuries, all victims of a concussion should be examined by a medical professional to rule out a more serious underlying injury.
- Contusion: A bruise to the brain tissue caused by trauma, such as an impact to the head. Again, any injury to the brain holds the potential to be life-threatening. The victim should seek immediate medical attention.
- Diffuse axonal injury: Tearing of the nerve fibers in the brain as a result of a sudden movement of the brain inside the skull. Diffuse axonal injury can occur due to the sudden motion of a car accident or a violent fall. It is not uncommon for the victim to experience a coma after a diffuse axonal injury.
- Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: Involves bleeding between the brain and the surrounding membrane. This injury is serious and without proper treatment, it can result in permanent brain damage or loss of life.
- Whiplash injury: This injury is often thought of as damage to the muscle and soft tissue of the neck, but a severe whiplash can also cause damage to the front and back areas of the brain as well as the nerves and blood flow to the brain. This injury can cause prolonged headaches, hematomas, unconsciousness, and even coma.
What Causes Neurological Injuries?
Any time that a person’s head hits a solid object or the ground there is a high likelihood of injury. Car accidents are a common cause of neurological injuries. Pedestrians or bicyclists who are struck by a vehicle are also prone to these serious head injuries. A fall can also cause a traumatic brain injury. Children playing sports are also at risk. Finally, children who suffer physical abuse (as well as babies who are shaken) can suffer serious neurological injuries.
We've offered crucial support and guidance to individuals who have suffered injuries, ensuring their financial and emotional well-being.
