Traumatic Head & Brain Injuries
There are many common causes of head injuries. This includes traffic accidents, home and occupational accidents, falls, and assaults.
Of the many types of head injuries, all are either open or closed. If the skull remains intact, it is a closed head injury. Should an object pierce the skull it is a penetrating head injury. Brain injuries occur either over a wide area, or are focal, located in a small, specific area. A head injury may cause a skull fracture, which may or may not be associated with injury to the brain.
