The following conditions can result from a Traumatic Brain Injury:
- Concussion - is a non-penetrating blow to the head. The common early symptoms of concussion include dizziness, vertigo or loss of equilibrium, nausea, vomiting and headache.
- Skull Fracture - generally is due to a large amount of force applied to the head. Symptoms associated with a skull fracture include bleeding from the middle ear, bruising behind the ear and darkening around the eyes.
- Brain Contusion - is a bruise may be found under or opposite from the side of the impact and may cause swelling and neurological dysfunction.
- Epidural Hematoma - is the collection of blood between the dura, which is the skull's outer shell, and the inner table of the skull.
- Subdural Hematoma - is caused by a tearing of a bridging vein between a draining venous sinus and the cerebral cortex, and it often results from a whiplash injury.
- Brain Herniation - is caused by increased intracranial pressure. This pressure can cause the patient's level of consciousness to deteriorate.
- Coma - is a state of unconsciousness from which a patient cannot be awakened or aroused, even by powerful stimulation. Comas may last only a few days or many years.
