Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, can be life altering and also life-threatening. It occurs when the brain is injured as a result of sudden force.
If the trauma results in damage to the skull itself, such as a crack or break, the trauma is considered a penetrating head injury. More difficult to diagnose are closed head injuries, in which the brain is injured but the skull remains undamaged. This can occur from a blow or impact, or from severe back-and-forth shaking, such as whiplash.
Babies and small children can suffer such injuries from being shaken, the so-called "shaken baby syndrome."
Sometimes people experience a recovery after their brain is injured, but in severe cases, brain injury can lead to severe disability or death. It can lead to paralysis, seizures, blindness, memory loss, impaired communication skills, and many other disabilities. Victims suffer from psychological and emotional stress of the loss of independence, time away from work and family challenges. At the least, victims often require medical care that is ongoing and costly.
