An injury that commonly results from a blow to the head or from sudden deceleration. It usually causes an altered mental state, either temporary or prolonged. Often used by the public to refer to a brief loss of consciousness.
Closed head injury which may take some time to manifest.
Any alteration in cerebral function caused by direct or indirect (rotation) force transmitted to the head resulting in one or more of the following: a brief loss of consciousness, lightheadedness, vertigo, cognitive and memory dysfunction, tinnitus, difficulty concentrating, amnesia, headache, balance disorder, nausea or vomiting.
The common result of a blow to the head or sudden deceleration usually causing an altered mental state, either temporary or prolonged. Physiologic and/or anatomic disruption of connections between some nerve cells in the brain may occur. Often used by the public to refer to a brief loss of consciousness.
A disruption, usually temporary, of neurological function resulting from a blow or violent shaking.
a disturbance of electrical activity in the brain due to a blow to the head or neck, causing temporary loss of consciousness. This is common in car accident compensation claim cases, bike accident claims and other accident compensation cases.
A reversible paralysis of nervous functions following brain trauma, usually involving a transient loss of consciousness and/or a transient state of confusion.
a violent blow, jarring, shaking or other non penetrating injury to the brain. Frequently, but not always, accompanied by a loss of consciousness. Also called Minor Head Injury and Traumatic Brain Injury. Slang terms include: having one's "bell rung," and "ding."
Jarring injury of the brain resulting in dysfunction. It can be graded as mild, moderate or severe, depending on loss of consciousness, amnesia and loss of equilibrium.
condition in which there is impaired brain function due to a violent blow or impact to the head
condition resulting from a violent shock or blow.
a jarring brain injury resulting from a head blow or fall.
injury to the brain caused by a hard blow or violent shaking, causing a sudden and temporary impairment of brain function, such as a short loss of consciousness or disturbance of vision and equilibrium.
Injury resulting from a sudden or violent shock to the head. May cause temporary loss of consciousness.
A state of loss of consciousness of less than 6 hours that is associated with loss of memory for the period of concussion and for some time before and afterwards.
An impact or injury to the brain, which may result in a loss of consciousness following a blow to the head. A fracture may or may not be present.
A sudden and violent jarring or shaking (result of high g-forces), resulting in injury to soft tissue, specifically in the CNS or inner ear. Does not necessarily require a direct traumatic blow.
Concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), is the most common and least serious type of traumatic brain injury. A milder type of diffuse axonal injury, concussion involves a transient loss of mental function. It can be caused by acceleration or deceleration forces, or by a direct blow.
