Idaho: Brain Injury Types

A cerebral contusion involves internal bleeding or a bruise to the brain. Contusions occur after car accidents, assaults or falls when blood vessels leak into the brain tissue.

Symptoms of this traumatic brain injury include the following:

Unconsciousness
Headache
Nausea
Vomiting
Memory loss
Numbness
Increased pupil size
Irritability
Forgetfulness

The prognosis of a contusion depends on where the injury occurred and amount of bleeding. Hemorrhages can increase intracranial pressure forcing the brain tissue against the rough skull, which can lead to further complications.
