Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries, can leave the victim debilitated. Blunt trauma to the skull or prolonged lack of oxygen, or the anoxic brain injury can have severe and/or life threatening consequences. With traumatic brain injury, the victim's brain may bruise or tear, while anoxic brain injury causing parts of the brain to die from lack of oxygen creating life long difficulties.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

1.Tearing - The sudden impact of the body colliding with another object. This can occur from such traumas from sports injuries, auto accidents, or falls.

2. Bruising - The collision between the tissue and the skull may rupture small blood vessels creating pressure on the brain tissue. This pressure may cause parts of the brain to stop functioning. Collisions are a common cause of such injuries.
