Brain injury due to stroke or other traumatic injuries to the head. The degree of damage may depend on several factors including the nature of the event and the power of influence. The damage may be one or more of the following factors:
Damage to brain cells may be limited to the region directly under the blow to the skull.
Blow or shock can cause a variety of points of damage, because the brain can bounce back and forth in the skull.
A blow of rotation or twist can cause breakdown of cell structures.
An explosion of a bomb, can cause major damage.
An object penetrates the skull, can cause serious, irreversible damage to brain cells, blood vessels and tissues of protection around the brain.
Bleeding into or around the brain inflammation and blood clots can stop the supply of oxygen to the brain and cause more widespread damage.
The most common causes
Common events that cause traumatic brain injury are:
Falls. The fall of the bed, falling in the bathroom, steps falling, falling from a ladder and falls are associated most common cause of traumatic brain injury in general, especially in the elderly and children.
Vehicle accidents. The collisions of cars, motorcycles or bicycles - and pedestrians involved in these accidents - are a common cause of traumatic brain injury, especially among the adults in their 20 years of age.
Violence. About 10 percent of traumatic brain injuries caused by violence, including gunshot wounds, domestic violence or child abuse. Shaken baby syndrome is a brain injury caused by violent shaking of an infant that damages brain cells.
Sports injuries. Traumatic brain injury may be caused by injuries to some sports such as boxing, football, baseball, lacrosse, skateboarding, hockey, and the impact of others, or extreme sports.
Explosions and explosive combat damage. Explosive blasts is a common cause of traumatic brain injuries to active duty military personnel. Although the mechanism of injury is not well understood, many researchers believe that the shock wave through the brain significantly disrupt brain function. Traumatic brain injury also results from penetrating wounds, severe blow to the head by shrapnel and debris, and the collision of drops or body with objects after an explosion.
