Brain damage from traumatic brain injury (TBI) is divided into two mechanisms: primary and secondary brain injury. Primary ...
A clot that forms between the brain and the dura is called a subdural hematoma. A clot that forms deep within the brain tissue itself is called an intracerebral hematoma. Over time the body reabsorbs the clot. Sometimes surgery is performed to remove large clots....
Traumatic Brain Injury Patient Experiences at CNS show stories of triumph over adversity and how cognitive skills development helps them recover.
DAI is one of the most common types of brain injuries. It often happens during a car accident, sports injury, or fall. DAI damages your brain’s white matter, making it harder for nerve cells to communicate information. Brain damage from a DAI can be temporary or permanent. Hematoma When ...
This is especially true with adults over 60 who often develop a chronic subdural hematoma after a relatively mild fall or bump on the head.3 What Are Common Causes of a Traumatic Brain Injury? The brain is usually well protected by the skull, three layers of tissues calledmeninges, and the...
injuries can be divided into primary and secondary stages. Primary injury results from direct, blunt, or penetrating impacts, acceleration/deceleration forces, or blast injuries, leading to focal intracranial hemorrhage, epidural or subdural hematoma, brain contusion, and/or diffuse axonal damage [3]....
Picture of epidural, subdural, and intracerebral hematomas. Skull fractures are described by which bone is broken, whether there is an associated laceration of the scalp (open fracture), and whether the bone is depressed and potentially pushed into the brain tissue. ...

Subdural hematoma – a collection of blood outside the brain but within its outer membrane (dura) Intracerebral hematoma – a collection of blood within the brain tissue itself. If you sustain a blow to the head, you should see a doctor immediately as surviving a brain bleed depends on immed...
Though Huntington’s disease (HD) is frequently complicated by falls and consecutive traumatic brain injury (TBI) with subdural hematoma (SDH), traumatic subarachnoid bleeding (SAB) has not been reported as a complication of HD. A 67yo female with HD due to a CAG-repeat expansion of 43 repea...
