                     Everything You Need to 
Know About Head Injury
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. 2

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.

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.

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.
