Understanding Traumatic vs. Non-Traumatic Brain Injuries
There are several different types of brain injuries, but these are generally categorized as either traumatic or non-traumatic:
- A non-traumatic brain injury is one that occurs as a result of congenital, degenerative, or hereditary factors, as well as those resulting from birth injuries and internal factors, such as oxygen deprivation or pressure from a tumor.
- A traumatic brain injury (TBI), on the other hand, is a type of acquired brain injury, meaning it happened after birth due to outside factors.
TBIs are further classified as either “open-head” or “closed-head” injuries. An open-head brain injury is one in which there is physical damage to the skull, whereas a closed-head brain injury involves internal damage to the brain without the presence of physical damage to the head or skull.
In-Depth Overview of Traumatic Brain Injury Types
Some examples of open-head and closed-head TBIs include:
- Brain bleeds
- Concussions
- Contusions (bruises)
- Coup-contrecoup injuries
- Diffuse axonal injuries
- Hematomas (epidural, subdural)
- Hemorrhage
- Lacerations on the brain
- Skull fractures
- Penetrating injuries
Even a seemingly “minor” brain injury, such as a concussion, can have significant, long-lasting effects.
