Head Trauma – Introduction
What is Head Trauma?
•  Head trauma is any injury to the head, scalp, skull, or brain. 
Head injury can be classified in a variety of ways, depending 
on the nature of the injury, the structural damage to the 
head, or the severity of the injury.
•  Most headaches are mild and can be treated with a mild 
painkiller. However, some head pain is a sign of a serious or 
life-threatening medical condition. Do not ignore 
unexplained head pain, or head pain that gets worse over 
time.

Head Trauma –  Risk Factor
Risk Factor 
•  Head trauma is when a person's head is hit or shaken, usually 
from a car accident, gunfight, sports, fall, or some other violent 
act, like child abuse. 
•  This can cause bruising and damage to the brain and internal 
organs. The bruise at the site of the impact is called a coup, 
and it's caused by the brain jolting backward and hitting the 
skull on the other side. 
•  This bruise is called contrecoup. 
•  When the brain is jolted backward, it can cut the inside of the 
skull and cause it to shear. This can lead to bleeding, more 
bruising, and swelling in the brain.
