Traumatic Brain Injury
Serving Chattanooga, Tennessee
Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI, can be one of the most devastating injuries a person can suffer. Causing anything from unpredictable mood swings to memory loss, even something that may seem to be a relatively minor injury can have serious and long-lasting consequences for victims and their families.
Open and closed brain trauma
Traumatic brain injury can be caused by either an open or a closed wound.
Open-Head Trauma is a wound that penetrates or punctures the skull. Open trauma head injuries are caused by impact. Some of the most common causes of open head trauma are auto and other high-speed accidents.
Closed-Head Trauma is a type of injury that does not cause any obvious external damage. This type of injury can occur as a result of an impact that does not break the skin. When the brain is injured as a result of closed-head trauma, the brain moves and hits the inside of the skull.
While most cases of open head trauma are diagnosed immediately, closed head trauma is more likely to remain undiagnosed as a result of the lack of visual signs of injury. This is one of the reasons it is so important that you seek medical attention after any serious accident.

- Sudden changes in personality or mood
