Common Causes of Brain Injuries

TBI can be caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or by a penetrating head injury that disrupts the brain’s normal function. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI. The severity of a TBI may range from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness, to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. 

According to the CDC, the leading causes of TBI that resulted in emergency department visits in the United States were: falls (35%), being struck by/against an object (17%), motor vehicle crashes (16%), and assaults (9%).

Symptoms and Long-term Effects of a Brain Injury

More than 5 million Americans currently live with disabilities resulting from TBI. Brain injuries can have a variety of short- and long-term effects. In the immediate aftermath of an injury, patients may experience confusion, disorientation, and problems with memory and concentration. They may also have difficulty processing information and responding to stimuli. In the long term, brain injuries can lead to chronic headaches, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Patients may also develop problems with motor skills, balance, and coordination.

It can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders that become more prevalent with age. In some cases, brain injuries can lead to dementia or even death.
