Clinical features and morphology

of different form of traumatic

brain injury
Traumatic brain injury can have wide-
ranging physical, cognitive,
psychological and physiological
effects occurring immediately or
elapsed. The symptoms might differ
depending on the severity of TBI, but
some are not specific to the type of
injury
MORPHOLOGY OF TRAUMATIC
BRAIN INJURY
1-Concussion

 Concussions are the most common

type of brain injury. They are also
referred to as mild TBIs. Blunt force
trauma and closed head injuries are
common causes of concussion. The
person may strike their head on an
object, or an object strikes the head
2-Penetrating Brain Injuries

 The injury is caused by an object

penetrating the skull to enter the brain. A
penetrating brain injury leads to bleeding
and the death of brain cells. Complications
from penetrating brain injuries include
brain swelling, bleeding, blood clots,
stroke, and loss of oxygen from lack of
blood circulation in the brain.
3-Anoxic Brain Injuries and
Contusions

 Anoxic brain damage is caused by a

lack of oxygen to the brain. Brain
cells begin to die after four minutes
without oxygen. Drowning is a
common cause of anoxic brain
injury
4-Diffuse Axonal Injury

 Diffuse axonal injury or DAI is

similar to other types of brain
injuries that begin with the brain
shifting within the skull. The long
connecting fibers are torn from the
brain. The result can be severe brain
damage in multiple locations on the
brain.
