Overview
A head injury is any sort of injury to your brain, skull, or scalp. This can range from a mild bump or bruise to a traumatic brain injury. Common head injuries include concussions, skull fractures, and scalp wounds. The consequences and treatments vary greatly, depending on what caused your head injury and how severe it is.
Head injuries may be either closed or open. A closed head injury is any injury that doesn’t break your skull. An open (penetrating) head injury is one in which something breaks your scalp and skull and enters your brain.

Assessment
Signs
It can be hard to assess how serious a head injury is just by looking. Some minor head injuries bleed a lot, while some major injuries don’t bleed at all. It’s important to treat all head injuries seriously and get them assessed by a doctor.
- Common symptoms of a minor head injury include:
- a headache
- lightheadedness
- a spinning sensation
- mild confusion
- nausea
- temporary ringing in the ears
- The symptoms of a severe head injury include many of the symptoms of minor head injuries. They can also include:
- a loss of consciousness
- seizures
- vomiting
- balance or coordination problems
- serious disorientation
- an inability to focus the eyes
- abnormal eye movements
- a persistent or worsening headache
- memory loss
- changes in mood
- leaking of clear fluid from the ear or the nose

Diagnosis
Diagnosis
While the diagnosis is clinical, brain imaging, electrophysiology, blood tests to rule out reversible causes or indeed contributing factors and a thorough pre-rehabilitation assessment including evaluation for co-morbidities (associated conditions) will be required in all instances. At Buddhi Clinic our assessment includes standard outcome indicators for activities of daily life, quality of life, neuro-disability and mental health.
