About Brain Injury

Any event that causes damage to brain tissues is considered a brain injury. There are two general categories of brain injury: congenital (before or during birth) and acquired (injury after birth).

Damage can occur suddenly (as in trauma or stroke), or more gradually (as in diseases). Damage can result from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, brain tumor, lack of oxygen to the brain (anoxia or hypoxia), degenerative diseases, encephalopathy, or other causes.
