Abstract

Brain injury, encompassing a range of conditions from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI), has profound implications for individuals' health and quality of life. Understanding brain injury involves exploring its types, causes, effects, and the strategies used for effective management and rehabilitation. This article provides a comprehensive overview of brain injury, highlighting key aspects that contribute to its impact and recovery. Brain injury encompasses a spectrum of conditions resulting from trauma or disease that disrupt brain function. It is broadly categorized into traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acquired brain injury (ABI). TBI, which includes concussions, contusions, diffuse axonal injury, and penetrating injuries, typically results from external impacts such as accidents, falls, or violence. ABI, on the other hand, occurs due to internal factors like strokes, brain tumors, encephalitis, or hypoxic-ischemic events.
