How does brain trauma manifest?

On Behalf of The Hodge Law Firm, PLLC | Feb 16, 2023 | Personal Injury |

After suffering from a blow to the head, it is possible to end up with brain trauma or injury.

How do these injuries manifest? What sort of forms do they take depending on the victim or the type of injury in question?

Mild brain trauma red flags

Mayo Clinic discusses brain trauma and its impacts. Brain trauma often occurs when the brain hits the inside of the skull due to concussive damage or impact. It can take many forms ranging from mild to severe.

Mild brain trauma tends to have more subtle signs, and in fact, many victims with mild head injuries may not even realize that they have one. Symptoms typically include things like relatively minor head pains or headaches, temporary blurred vision or some trouble thinking straight.

On the other hand, moderate to severe head injuries almost always have notable manifestations due to their severe nature.

Physical effects of severe injury

Physical effects of moderate to severe head injuries can include vomiting, visual changes, extreme head pain or migraines, white flashes in the vision, ringing in the ears, trouble with motor skills, trouble speaking and difficulty with mobility.

Mental effects of severe injury

Mental effects can include brain fog, trouble thinking clearly, temporary memory loss, difficulty recalling the event that led to the injury, extreme emotional outbursts or changes, crying, displaying uncharacteristic anger, and unconsciousness.

In either case, quick medical attention is a necessity to ensure the head injury sufferer gets the care they need. This is the best way to try to prevent lasting side effects and serious impactful damage.
