Head Trauma Impact Factor

A Head Trauma is any sort of injury to your brain, skull, or scalp. This can range from a light bump or bruise to a traumatic brain injury. The results and coverings vary greatly, counting on what caused your head injury and the way severe it is.  Head injuries could also be either closed or open. It is often hard to assess how serious a head injury is simply by looking. Some minor head injuries bleed tons , while some major injuries don’t bleed in the least . It’s important to treat all head injuries seriously and obtain them assessed by a doctor. A hematoma may be a collection, or clotting, of blood outside the blood vessels. It is often very serious if a hematoma occurs within the brain. The clotting can lead to pressure building up inside your skull. This can cause you to lose consciousness or result in permanent brain damage. A hemorrhage is uncontrolled bleeding. There can be bleeding in the space around your brain, called subarachnoid hemorrhage, or bleeding within your brain tissue, called intracerebral hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhages often cause headaches and vomiting. The severity of intracerebral hemorrhages depends on how much bleeding there is, but over time any amount of blood can cause pressure build-up.
