Some brain injuries are
not always diagnosed and detected properly,
especially in the case of a closed head
injury because there is no outward damage.
Some CT scans will show that there are proper
brain functioning despite existing brain
injuries. Symptoms from a brain injury
may not show up until much after the accident,
delaying diagnoses even further and causing
increased damage. A neurologist is able
to determine through an evaluation and assessment
if a brain damage does exist, but often
times a neurologist will only see patients
with serious head injuries that has either
not been identified by the regular physician,
or is not assumed because the accident was
a closed head injury.
A brain injury can result
in long lasting cognitive and communication
problems. The younger the individual is,
the better the chances are for progression.
The severity of the effects depends on the
areas of the brain injured and the extent
of the brain injury. The brain injury will
most likely be the worst directly following
the accident because of the swelling and
contusions, or bruising. Swelling and bruising
will affect brain functioning but once it
subsides the areas of the brain that were
altered will return to normal.
