HEADINJURY
It is an injury of the skull by which the normal physiological at the brain
and other body's organ are affected.

The effect of the body organ depend upon the type of injuries.

Head injury is a broad classification that include injury to the scalp, skull
or brain. This is the most common cause of death from trauma.

Traumatic brain injury is the most serious form at brain injury.

DEFINITION
Brain injury is defined as an injury of scalp, skull or brain, which may
result in major physical or psychological dysfunction and can after patient
life completely.

CLASSIFICATION OF BRAIN INJURY


The most important consideration in any Head injury is wheather or not
the brain is injured. Even samightly minor injury can cause significant
brain damage as to obstructed blood flow and decreased tissues perfusion.

Mainly Head injury is classified in two types :

(1) Closed (blum) Brain injury.

(2) Open brain injury.

(1) Closed Brain Injury : CBI occurs when the head oulerates and
them rapidly deteration or colloids with another object and brain tissue is
damaged. But there is no opening through the skull and meninges.

(2) Open Brain Injury : OBI occurs when an object parentrate the
skull, enters the brain tissue in its path (penetrating injury), or when blunt
trauma to the bead is so severe that it opens the scalp, skull and dura to
expose the brain.
TYPES OF HEAD INJURY
(1) Concussion : A cerebral concussion is a temporary loss of
neurologic function with no apparent spectral damage, after any head
injury. A concussion generally involves a period of unconsciousness
bisting from a few second to a few minutes.

The occurrence of these symptoms after injury is reffered to as post


concussion syndrome.
 Difficulty in awakening
 Difficulty in speaking
 Confusion
 Severe Headache
 Vomiting
 Weakness of one wide of the body

(2) Contusion : Cerebral confusion is a more severe injury its which


the brain is bruised, with possible surface hemorrhage.

The patient is unconscious for more than a few minutes. Clinical sign and
symptoms depend on the size of the confusion and the amount of
associated cerebral oedema.

The patient may lie motion use with a paint, pulse, shallow respiration
and cool. Pale sign, the B.P. and temperative are subnormal. This
situation may compared with the shock.

(3) Diffuse axonal injury: Diffuse axonal injury involves wide


spread damage to axone in the cerebral hemisphere, corpus collorum and
brain stem.

It can be seen in mild, moderate or severe head trauma and results in


axonal swelling and disconnection.

The patient may go in immediate comma.

(4) Intra Cranial hemorrhage:HEMATOMAS (collection of


blood) that develop which in the cranial vault are the most serious injury.

Major symptoms are frequently delayed until the HEMATOMA is large


enough to cause distolation of the brain and increased ICP.

A HEMATOMA may be epidural (above the dura), subdural (below the


dura) and intracerebral (within the brain).
(a) Epidural HEMATOMA:
(Extradural haematomy or hammthage)

After a head injury, blood may collect in the epidural (extradural) space
between the skull and the dura.

This can result from a skull fracture that cause a rapture or laceration of
the middle meningeal artery (the artery which reins between the dura and
skull to the temporal bone).

Haemmrrhage from the artery. Cause rapid pressure on the brain, a


epidural HEMATOMA is considered as an extreme emergency, maked
neuralgic deficit or even respiratory arrest can occurs within minutes.

(b) Subdural HEMATOMA:

A subdural HEMATOMA is a collection of blood between the dura and


the brain. A space normally occupied by a their cushion of fluid.

The most common cause of its is trauma but it may also occur from
coagulopathies or rupture of an aneurysm.

A subdural hemorrhage is more frequently venous, in origin and is due to


the rapture to small vessels. Their bridge the subdural space.

(c) Intracerebal hemorrhage or trauma :

Intracerebral hemorrhage is bleeding into the substance of the brain. It is


commonly seen in head injury when force is exerted to the head over a
small area.

These hemorrhage within the brain may also result from systemic
hypertension, leukemia or haemophils.

(5) Brain Death : When a patient has substained a severe head injury
incompatible within life.

Brain death indicate invisible loss of all brain function. The patient has no
neurologic activity against any stimuli.

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF THE BRAIN
BRAIN :
The brain is very important part of the body. It lies in the cranical cavity
of the brain. The parts are :-
- Cerebrum
- Mid- Brain
The Brain Stem - Pons
- Medulla oblengeta
- Cerebellum

(1) Cerebrum -

It is the largest part of the Brain and it occupies the arteries & middle
cranial lossa.

The superficial (peripheral) part of cerebrum is composed of nerve cell


bodies (Gray Matter) and known as cerebral cortex and the deeper layer
consist of nerve libries or white matter.

The two cerebral haemisphere are separated by carpas collarum, which is


a mass of nerve libres (white matter) each cerebral haemisphere is
divided into four lobes :

(1) Frontal lobe

(2) Perital lobe

(3) Temporal lobe

(4) Occipetal lobe

- Deep within the cerebral hemisphere there are group of cell bodies,
called nuclei, these are :

(1) Basal ganglia

(2) Thalamus

(3) Hypothalamus

Function of the cerebral cortex :

(1) Mental activity, mental activities involves memory, intelligence, sense


if - responsibility thinking, reasoning, moral sense and hearing etc.
(2) Sensory perception, including properties of pain, temperature, touch,
sight, hearing taste and smell.

(3) Muscular activities, irritating and control of skeleton involuntary


muscle contraction.

(4) Language

(5) Personality traits

Function of the basal nuclei :

(1) Inhibiting of muscle tone.

(2) Coordination of slow sustained movements.

(3) Suppression of useless pattern of movement.

Function of Thalamus :

(1) Relay station for all synaptic input.

(2) Crude awareness of sensation.

(3) Some degree of consciousness

(4) Role in motor controle.

Function of Hypothalamus :

(1) Regulation of many haemostatic function such as temp. control.


Thirst, urine, output and load intake.

(2) Important link between nervous & endocrine system.

(3) Extensive involvement with emotions and basic behavioral pattern.

(4) Sexual behavior

(5) Biological clodes or circadian rhythm eg - sleeping and walking


cycles.

(2) Mid Brain -

The mid brain is the are of the brain situation around the cerebral
aqueduct between the cerebrum above and the pens below.

(3) Pones -
The pones is situated in front of the cerebellum, below the mid brain and
above the medulla oblengeta.

It consist mainly of white matter (N. fibres).

(4) Medulla oblengeta (Medulla) -

It extended from the pones above and is consitinues with the spinal card
below.

The better aspect is composed of white matter which passage between the
brain and spinal cord and the gray matter which lies untrally.

Function of Brain stem :

(1) Origin of majority of peripheral cranial verves.

(2) Cardio vascular, Respiratory and digestive control centre.

(3) Regulation of muscle reflex invalued with equilibrium and pressure.

(4) Reception and integration of all systemic inspect from spinal cord,
around & activation of cerebral cortex.

(5) Sleeping centre.

(5) Cerebellum -

The cerebellum is situated behind the pones and below the posterior
portion of cerebrum, occupying the posterior cranial losses.

Gray matter forms the surface of the cerebellum and the white matter lies
deeply.

Function of Cerebellum :

(1) Maintain of balance

(2) Enhancement of muscle tone

(3) Co-ordination and planning of skilled voluntary muscles activity.


The Brain
RISK FACTORS
The leading causes of TBI are :

(1) Falls following by motor vehicle crashes and assautis.

(2) Elevated blood alcohol level.

(3) Not wearing motor cycle helmets

(4) Not wearing seat belts on four wheelers.

(5) Firearm (weapon discharged by means of explorine)

(6) Suicides or homicides.

(7) Sport injury

Adult age of 15-44 are at the greatest risk.

 Male & female ratio is 3:1

 Other risk factor is :

- Over the age of 75 year.

- Living in high crime area.


ETIOLOGY (In general)
(1) Motor vehicle accidents

(2) Driving with alcohol driving

(3) Driving without any safety guard.

(4) Faults

(5) Act of violence and shouting.

In my patient :

(1) RTA

(Road truck accident) or Motor Vehicle accident


PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Brain suffers traumatic injury



Brain swelling / bleeding increase intracranial
volume

Rigid cranium allows no room for expansion of
contents so intracranial pressure increase

Pressure on blood vessels within the brain cause
blood flow to the brain slow.

Cerebral hypoxia and ischemia occurs

Intracranial pressure continues to rise brain merge
terminate.

Cerebral blood flow ceases

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)


CLASSIFICATION OF LOC
According to Glasgow comma - scalp.

(1) Mild - GCS - 13 to 15

Loss of consciousness to 15 min.

Loss of consciousness greater than 6 hrs.

In my Patient -

GCS = 3

 He was unconscious about 62 hrs. from the accident.

 He has severe head injury or severe traumatic brain injury.

ASSOCIATED INJURY OR
EXTRA CRANIAL TRAUMA

 Occurs in 20% of major TBI eg - lines fracture
 Basilar skull fracture
 Depressed fracture
 Facial fracture

(2) Vascular injury -


 Vertebral or carotid artery dissection.

(2) Confusion
(3) Papillary abnormalities
(4) Absence or altered gag reflex.
(5) Absent carneel reflex
(6) Sudden enset of nuerologic deficits.

COMPLICATIONS

(1) Infection - Systemic (Respiratory, Urinary)


Neurologic (Meningitis, Ventriculitis)
(2) Increased ICP, hydrocephalus, brain heaviation.
(3) Post traumatic sezures disorder.
(4) Permanent neurologic deficits (Cognitive, motor, sensory, speech)
(5) Neurobehavioral alteration, impulsivity, unhibited aggression of
emotional liability)
(6) Persistent sympathetic storming
(7) DIC
(8) DI. SIADH
(9) DEATH

MANAGEMENT
The goal of management are to prevent further TBI and to observe for
symptoms of progressive nuerologic deficit.

The patient is resuscitated as necessary and oxygen and cardiovascular


stability are maintained.

Non depressed skull fracture generally do not require surgical treatment


however close observation of the patient is essential.

Depressed skull fracture usually require surgery, particularly if


contaminated or deformed fractures are present.
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
Medical management includes drug therapy :
In general -
1) Glucocarticoides (dexena) - is given to reduce cerebral credema.
2) Serum glucose concentration should be monitors because of steroid
may cause hyperglycemias.
3) Osmatic diuretic are used to treat cerebral - edema by pulling water
and from brain and it increase cerebral blood flow by decreasing
ICP.
4) Diuretic - is used to treat ICP.
5) Antiepileptic agent is given to reduce convulsion.
6) Dynapas used as analgesic drug to reduce pain.
