  2. An OVERVIEW Basically, a head injury is a type of injury that occurs to your skull, scalp, or brain. Well, a head injury can range from a mid-bruise to a traumatic brain injury. Some of the common head injuries are skull fractures, concussions, and scalp wounds. In fact, cardiovascular procedures can cause a head injury. CE-marked cerebral protection devices are used during cardiac procedures. The treatment and consequences depend on the type of head injury. Well, head injuries can be open or closed too. It’s quite difficult to analyze how serious a head injury is just by seeing the patient. Some minor injuries bleed a lot. However, some major injuries don’t bleed at all. Thus, it’s crucial to consult a doctor.

  3. Let’s talk about some of the major types of head injuries: • Hematoma • Hemorrhage • Concussion

  4. Hematoma This type of head injury is a collection of clots and blood. This is an extremely serious brain injury. The collection of clotting leads to pressure inside your skull which can cause you to lose consciousness and sometimes result in permanent brain damage.

  5. Hemorrhage Basically, this is uncontrolled bleeding. During hemorrhage, there is bleeding inside your brain, which is also called subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage. This also causes severe headaches and vomiting.

  6. Concussion This injury occurs when there is a huge impact on your head. A concussion can be the result of an accident or fall. Well, the loss of function and speaking disorder is temporary in this head injury. Although, repeated concussions can lead to permanent brain damage.
