A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain and disrupts the normal functioning of the brain. TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. The brain can be injured many ways including a collision during a sporting event, while on the playground, in a fight, or in an auto accident.
Brain Pressure
Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. The pressure in the brain, also known as intra-cranial pressure (ICP), is constantly monitored in the hospital after a traumatic brain injury has occurred.
