Brain injures are generally defined as damage to the brain and supporting tissues and categorized as either traumatic or acquired. A traumatic brain injury is caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head or penetration of the brain tissue, and most traumatic brain injuries are caused by sporting injuries or automobile accidents. An acquired brain injury is caused by an internal condition within the body, such as the loss of adequate oxygen to the brain. Acquired brain injuries can be caused by medical negligence during a procedure, health problems or adverse drug reactions. Both traumatic and acquired brain injuries can result in emotional and cognitive loss and require months – if not years – of intense rehabilitation.
