Types of injuries in Traumatic Brain Injury
What are the types of injuries we see in Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic Brain Injury is a heterogeneous condition with multiple mechanisms for injury.
Primary injury occurs at time of impact, and secondary injury develops over hours to days. Injury can be either diffuse or perilesional.
The mechanism of secondary injury is multifactorial; hypoxia–ischemia and CBF dysautoregulation are two of many secondary factors that influence outcome after TBI.
