Among traumatic brain Injuries, concussions are the most common. They are caused when the brain is impacted by blows or wounds, and the person typically feels dazed if they retain consciousness. It is often referred to as an invisible injury. It can go undiagnosed if proper care is not taken.
An acquired or non-traumatic brain injury may be the result of stroke, diseases such as meningitis or encephalitis, seizures, electric shocks, tumors, lead or carbon monoxide poisoning, drowning, and choking among other causes.
At least 2.8 million people in the U.S. sustain traumatic brain injuries per year.
