The Two Types of TBIs

There are two basic classifications of traumatic brain injury—closed and penetrating. A closed head injury occurs when a person’s head endures a blunt force from hitting or being hit by an object. A penetrating head injury is when an object breaks through the skull and enters the brain, usually at high speed. Both types of traumatic brain injury can have devastating and long-lasting effects, making immediate treatment and a proper diagnosis critical.

Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury include:

  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Mood swings
  • Convulsions
  • Slurred speech
  • Depression
  • Irritability
  • Stiff neck
  • Blurred or loss of vision
  • Behavioral issues
  • Emotional problems
  • Cognitive impairments
  • Brain damage
  • Paralysis
  • Coma
  • Death
