Head Injury
Head injury covers all injuries ranging from injury to the brain, skull, or scalp. Types of head injuries are concussion, contusion, intracranial hematoma, and skull fracture. The most common type of head injury is a concussion.
Head injuries can occur as a result of accidents, falls, violent acts, and injuries during sports.
Symptoms of head injury include
- Headache

When a head injury affects the brain, it is called traumatic brain injury.
Head injuries can be dangerous, if not diagnosed and treated at the earliest. Leaving the injury untreated, can lead to complications like permanent disability, mental impairment, and even death.
Diagnosis of head injury is usually done by physical examination, and with the help of X-rays, CT, and MRI scans.
Treatment for head injury involves surgery and medications along with complete rest. The surgical procedure includes decompressive craniectomy. The main concept of performing surgery in case of traumatic brain injury is to repair the fractures, if, remove the skull pieces in the brain and stop the bleeding.
