What is Traumatic Brain Injury?

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when external trauma causes damage to the brain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines TBI as a disruption in the normal function of the brain caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or by a penetrating head injury, such as a bullet wound.

Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms

Symptoms of traumatic brain injury may be apparent immediately after the trauma, or it could take days or weeks to appear. Brain injury symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the injury, and it may take a significant amount of time and medical treatment to determine the full extent of the injury.
