Traumatic damage to the scalp, skull, or brain is known as a head injury. A traumatic brain injury, or TBI (traumatic brain injury), occurs when an injury to the brain occurs.

Head injuries have the potential to cause long-term disability, mental damage, and even death. There are many steps by which you can decrease the risk of head injuries.

Types of head injuries:

Concussion: The most prevalent sort of head injury is concussion. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when the brain is shaken or rattled violently enough to bounce against the skull. It varies in severity from minor to severe.

Contusion: A bruise on the actual brain itself is called a contusion. It can cause bleeding and swelling.

IntraCranial Hematoma (ICH): This is a clot that forms under the skull in the brain. Hematomas in the brain range in severity from moderate to severe, and are classified by where they originate.

Skull fracture: In some cases, the skull affects the brain functioning. A broken part of bone can cause bleeding. Treatment is based on the severity of the injury. Dr Vamshi Krishna will decide the plan of action after analyzing the condition. Minor injuries don’t require any treatment other than rest and prescribed medication.

For moderate or severe injuries, Dr Vamshi Krishna will ensure the patient has enough oxygen and an adequate blood supply, maintaining blood pressure, and preventing any further injury to the head or neck.

Emergency surgery may be needed to minimize additional damage to brain tissues. Some of them are:

• Removing clotted blood (hematomas).
• Repairing skull fractures
• Bleeding in the brain
• Opening a window in the skull
