Head trauma is any damage to your brain, skull or scalp. This could be a mild bump or bruise of traumatic brain injury. Common head injuries include concussion, skull fracture, and scalp trauma. Results and treatment vary greatly depending on the cause and severity of head trauma. Concussion occurs when the impact to the head is severe enough to cause damage to the brain. This is thought to be the result of the impact of the brain to the hard wall of the cranial bone, or the sudden acceleration and deceleration. In general, loss of function associated with concussion is temporary. However, repeated concussions can eventually lead to permanent damage.

However, people with mild traumatic brain injury need to carefully monitor sustained, exacerbated, or new symptoms at home. He or she may also have a follow - up doctor 's schedule. Emergency treatment for moderate to severe traumatic brain injury is focused on patients providing appropriate oxygen and blood, maintaining blood pressure, and preventing further head and neck injury.
