The most common causes of brain injury are car accidents, recreational accidents, workplace accidents and falls. The most common symptoms are blurred vision, loss of smell, headaches, seizures and paralysis. These symptoms may manifest themselves immediately following the accident, or appear gradually over time.

There are two types of brain injury: closed and penetrating. A closed injury is when the brain suffers blunt trauma; a penetrating injury is when the skull is broken and an object enters the brain. Closed brain injuries manifest their symptoms in unusual ways, and are often hard to diagnose.
