Abstract

Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from damage to the brain tissue caused by an external mechanical force, and includes nonpenetrating (closed head injury) and penetrating (open head injury) injuries. The most common causes by age are falls in infants, falls or blunt trauma in school-age children, and motor vehicle collisions in adolescents. TBI-related hospitalizations are most commonly caused by falls (ages 09) and motor vehicle collisions (ages 1017). TBI-related deaths are most commonly caused by motor vehicle crashes. The duration of coma/unconscious state should be monitored, as well as the time in days it takes one to follow a command and form new memories. This chapter discusses traumatic brain injuries such as anoxic brain injury and encephalopathy. It provides definition, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology and mechanism of injury, differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, laboratory studies, and radiographic assessment. The chapter presents treatment of traumatic and anoxic brain injury and encephalopathy.
