Common causes of traumatic brain injuries

According to information provided by the Centers for Disease Control, a TBI – officially called a traumatic brain injury – is the result of some type of impact to your head or by some type of penetrating head injury that impacts or impedes the brain’s function. This includes mild situations where there is just a brief change in your mental status, or when you lose consciousness because of a more severe case, which includes memory loss and extended loss of consciousness.

A mild TBI are often called concussions. This is a term that has been seen in the news recently among pro athletes and the damages these injuries can cause over time.

Brain injuries may occur due to several mishaps and many of these situations are caused by the fault or negligence of another person. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Sports-relate concussions
  • Falls
  • Physical violence including assaults and abuse
  • Defective products
  • Automobile accidents

Risks associated with a traumatic brain injury

TBIs contribute to approximately 30% of all injury-related deaths. A brain injury is found using a MRI and for the elderly and very young, they are common after a fall. Some of the other risk factors or causes of a brain-related injury include motor vehicle accidents, which are responsible for the most injuries for individuals between the ages of 15 and 44, along with physical assaults, which made up about 10% of all TBI cases. Also, men are approximately three times more likely than women to suffer a TBI.

One of the main issues related to treating “moderate” or “mild” TBIs is the actual diagnosis of the condition. Sometimes, this injury isn’t easy to detect even when sophisticated imaging tech is used. If treatment isn’t provided due to an injury not being found, the situation will compound and cause even more problems.

Due to the often-invisible nature of this injury, a TBI ay not receive the treatment needed for cognitive or physical impairments. Unfortunately, this has led to more than five million people living with the long-term affects of TBIs today. Early detection is key to treating brain injuries properly.
