Traumatic Brain Injury: Assessment and Treatment

Traumatic brain injury can result from a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Symptoms may include headache, vomiting, confusion, drowsiness, memory problems, weakness, or loss of consciousness.

Treatment

Urgent medical assessment is essential after a significant head injury. Treatment may include observation, neurological monitoring, imaging, medicines, management of pressure, or surgery to treat bleeding or swelling when required. Emergency care is needed for worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, increasing drowsiness, or new weakness.
