We hear a lot about concussions on football fields. But concussions and other brain injuries happen right here in Connecticut on playgrounds, at work, on highways and elsewhere. All it might take is a wet floor to lead to a brain injury that changes the course of someone’s life. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tens of thousands of people die from brain injuries every year. Millions are injured. Many undergo MRIs or CT scans to determine the extent of their injuries.
Brain Injuries Are Often Under Diagnosed
Some TBIs are obvious medical emergencies with immediate symptoms. But not all brain injuries are immediately apparent. Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be knocked unconscious to suffer a concussion.
A traumatic brain injury may be characterized by one or more of the following symptoms:
- Temporary loss of memory
- Loss of consciousness
- Headache
- Nausea
- Confusion or other cognitive problems
- Changes in personality
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Vision problems
Just because these symptoms are not present does not mean an injury did not occur. Some brain injuries may have no obvious signs, and even a CT scan may not reveal the injury. For this reason, TBIs often go undiagnosed.
As we continue to explore the science of our brains, it has become clear that even seemingly minor trauma can have a long-lasting impact.
Causes of Brain Injuries
There is any number of things that can cause a brain injury. Car accidents and falls are the leading causes of TBI in the U.S. Other causes can include:
- Car crashes
- Blunt trauma to the head
- Assaults
- Truck accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Construction accidents
