Abstract

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that disrupts the normal brain function, and is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury. TBI range from mild concussions, without a loss of consciousness, or to severe TBI, which can result in a deep coma or death. Types of TBI's that patients can sustain include concussions, hematomas, and CTE. The length of time that patients have symptoms depends on the TBI severity, with symptoms lasting a few days or even the rest of patient’s life. Depending on the part of the brain that is injured in the accident, patients will have varying symptoms. This review article covers the different causes, diagnosis, and treatments of TBI’s along with the types of TBI’s that patients can sustain.
