Understanding Brain Injuries
There are various types of brain injuries, ranging from mild and temporary to severe and long-lasting. Brain injuries have the potential to be very serious in nature and may even lead to death. Even if a person survives a brain injury, they can be left with permanent disabilities.

Types of Brain Injuries
There are many ways that the brain can be injured. Some of these include:
- Concussion –a mild brain injury that causes short-term problems with the brain’s functioning, such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, fatigue, or amnesia
- Cerebral contusion – “brain bruises” that can cause diminished mental capacity following the injury
- Intracranial hemorrhage – bleeding within the skull that can be dangerous if it causes too much swelling in the brain
- Shaken baby syndrome – a type of child abuse in which a baby or small child has been shaken hard enough to cause swelling of the brain, which can result in permanent damage to the brain or even death
These are just a few of the types of brain injuries that can occur following some type of traumatic event.
