Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Department of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) happens when a sudden, external, physical assault damages the brain. It is one of the most common causes of disability and death in adults. TBI is a broad term that describes a vast array of injuries that happen to the brain. The damage can be focal (confined to one area of the brain) or diffuse (happens in more than one area of the brain). The severity of a brain injury can range from a mild concussion to a severe injury that results in coma or even death.

Types

1.Mild TBI (Concussion): Brief loss of consciousness or confusion, often with no visible brain abnormalities on imaging.

2.Moderate to Severe TBI: Involves more significant neurological impairment, potential skull fractures, and visible brain abnormalities.

Diagnosis

1.Clinical Assessment: Evaluation of symptoms, including loss of consciousness, confusion, or amnesia.

2.Imaging Studies: CT scans or MRI to identify structural damage or bleeding in the brain.

Treatment

1.Observation and Monitoring: Mild cases may require monitoring for symptoms, while moderate to severe cases often need hospitalization.

2.Surgical Intervention: In cases of severe bleeding or skull fractures, surgery may be necessary to alleviate pressure on the brain.

3.Rehabilitation Therapy: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy to address deficits and support recovery
