  2. Head Trauma – Introduction What is Head Trauma? • Head trauma is any injury to the head, scalp, skull, or brain. Head injury can be classified in a variety of ways, depending on the nature of the injury, the structural damage to the head, or the severity of the injury. • Most headaches are mild and can be treated with a mild painkiller. However, some head pain is a sign of a serious or life-threatening medical condition. Do not ignore unexplained head pain, or head pain that gets worse over time.

  3. Head Trauma – Symptom Symptoms • Head trauma symptoms vary from person to person and depend on the severity of the injury. • Signs of mild head trauma include :- • A raised, swollen area on the head due to a bump or bruise. • A small, superficial cut in your scalp. • Headache

  4. Head Trauma – Risk Factor Risk Factor • Head trauma is when a person's head is hit or shaken, usually from a car accident, gunfight, sports, fall, or some other violent act, like child abuse. • This can cause bruising and damage to the brain and internal organs. The bruise at the site of the impact is called a coup, and it's caused by the brain jolting backward and hitting the skull on the other side. • This bruise is called contrecoup. • When the brain is jolted backward, it can cut the inside of the skull and cause it to shear. This can lead to bleeding, more bruising, and swelling in the brain.
