Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

TBIs can vary greatly in severity and type. The four primary categories include:

• Concussion: A mild TBI caused by a blow to the head or violent shaking. Symptoms may include dizziness, confusion, headaches, and memory problems. While many recover fully, repeated concussions can lead to long-term complications.

• Contusion: A brain bruise often caused by direct impact. Severe contusions may require surgical removal and can lead to swelling, bleeding, or tissue damage.

• Penetrating Injury: Occurs when an object pierces the skull and directly damages brain tissue. These are often the most severe and life-threatening TBIs.

• Anoxic Brain Injury: This occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen, often due to drowning, choking, or medical malpractice. Even a few minutes without oxygen can cause permanent brain damage.

The Long-Term Impact of TBI

​

According to medical experts, even after hospitalization and extensive rehabilitation, nearly 50% of people with moderate to severe TBI experience long-term decline in functionality—or may die within five years of the injury.

Patients may face:

• Loss of memory or cognitive function

• Emotional and behavioral changes

• Difficulty with movement and coordination

• Inability to return to work or live independently

The emotional and financial toll of TBI can be overwhelming for victims and their families.
