Consequences of a Traumatic Brain Injury

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that in 2010, approximately 2.5 million ER visits, hospitalizations, and deaths were associated with TBIs. The causes of these injuries range from falls and traffic accidents to sports and workplace injuries, and in serious cases can result in permanent emotional, behavioral, and cognitive changes that affect a person's ability to work or live independently.

Due to the seriousness and long-lasting consequences of these injuries, it's important to seek immediate medical attention. Diagnoses may involve an MRI, EEG, CAT scan, or blood work, but early medical treatment and prompt diagnosis are of the utmost importance in the case of TBI.

Common TBI Symptoms & Effects

Traumatic brain injuries can vary greatly in severity. Minor TBIs may result in nothing more than a minor concussion that fully heals after a few days of rest. On the other end of the spectrum, TBIs can lead to permanent disability.

Other issues a traumatic brain injury may lead to include:

  • Seizures
  • Paralysis
  • Personality changes
  • Vision loss
  • Hearing loss
  • Coma
  • Cognitive disabilities
  • Loss of life

One of the most troubling aspects of brain injury is that it is not always visible immediately and can go undetected for days, months, and even years. This is why it is imperative you seek medical attention after a car crash, fall, or other accident that may have caused head trauma.

Symptoms of traumatic brain injury include:

  • Convulsions
  • Extreme confusion
  • Skull fracture
  • Severe headache
  • Blurred vision
  • Slurred speech
  • Stiff neck
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Extreme drowsiness
  • Fluid draining from the nose, ears, or mouth

Generally, the more severe the symptoms, the more severe the injury. The only way to accurately determine the effects and mitigate them early on is to seek medical care immediately. Diagnostic studies such as CT scans and MRIs are helpful in determining the nature and extent of head or brain injury, as is a Neurological Psychological Evaluation (NPE).

Delay in recognizing a brain injury can be severely harmful, or even fatal. A full neurological examination on a repeated basis may be needed when a brain injury is suspected.
