Causes and effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) TBI is caused by a severe jolt or blow to the head, or a head injury that penetrates and disrupts normal brain function. Our brains are like a mass of gelatin which is protected from jolts and bumps by the cerebrospinal fluid around it-the brain literally floats in this fluid inside the skull.

Understanding TBI: Part 1 - What happens to the brain during injury and the early stages of recovery from TBI? A TBI is not caused by something internal such as a stroke or tumor, and does not include damage to the brain due to prolonged lack of oxygen (anoxic brain injuries). It is possible to have a TBI and never lose consciousness. For example, someone with a penetrating gunshot wound to the head may not lose consciousness.

Patient Information about Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Traumatic brain injury (TBI), commonly called head injury, is brain damage that results from head trauma. Any brain injury is serious. Minor brain injuries usually do not cause lasting effects; however, severe brain injuries can cause devastating, life-changes consequences, including coma and death. Traumatic brain injury symptoms depend on the severity of the brain damage and the area(s) of the brain affected by the injury. Common signs of TBI include headache, dizziness, loss of balance, vision changes, and memory loss (post-traumatic amnesia [PTA]).

- Severity of TBI. Traumatic brain injury severity is commonly described as mild, moderate, or severe. Injury severity is traditionally based on duration of loss of consciousness and/or coma rating scale or score, post-traumatic amnesia (PTA), and brain imaging results. Mild, moderate, and severe TBI may be characterized as follows:

- The most common causes of TBI include falls, vehicle crashes, being hit with or crashing into an object, and assaults. The initial injury can cause brain tissue to swell. In addition, broken pieces of bone can rupture blood vessels in any part of the head. The body's response to the injury may also increase swelling.

Brain imaging findings are typically normal in mTBI.epending on the source of the trauma, TBIs can be either open or closed head injuries. 1  Open Head Injuries: Also called penetrating Injuries, these injuries occur when an object (e.g., a bullet) enters the brain and causes damage to specific brain parts. 2  Symptoms vary depending on the part of the brain that is damaged.

Sports-related Head Injury Concussion is the historical term representing low velocity injuries that cause brain “shaking” resulting in clinical symptoms and which are not necessarily related to a pathological injury. Concussion is a subset of TBI and the term concussion will be used in this document. It was also noted that the term commotio cerebri is often used in European and other countries. Minor revisions were made to the definition of concussion and it is defined as follows: Concussion is a brain injury and is defined as a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces.
