Sudden physical damage to the brain is referred to as traumatic brain injury. This may be caused by the head hitting an object with tremendous force, or the piercing of the brain with a sharp object of such as a knife or bullet. Automobile accidents top the list as the number one cause of traumatic brain injury. Also noted are sports injuries, falls, violent crimes, and child abuse. Focal brain damage is confined to a small area of the brain, usually the point where the head was hit or penetrated. Closed head injuries have the high probability of causing diffuse brain injuries. This occurs when the impact on the head is hard enough to dislodge the brain and force it to bounce back and forth against the inside of the skull. Anyone is at risk. Those most vulnerable are men age 15-24 because of their high risk lifestyle. Young children and elderly people are prone to falling quite a bit which puts them at risk also. Then we have toddlers who are being shaken with such force that they become victims of this unfortunate situation. People are all too often being diagnosed as suffering from "mild" brain injury and not being properly compensated for the full extent of their injuries. The medical community is now learning of the long term effects connected with "mild" brain injury, and they are as identically debilitating as those of traumatic head injuries.
