Head injury – sometimes called brain injury, describes an injury to the brain that is sustained through a variety of different means, including; lack of oxygen, stroke, brain tumour or a severe impact. The severity of the injury to the brain can vary greatly depending on the location of the injury and the type of trauma it causes.
Acquired Brain Injury is a term that describes an injury to the brain that is not caused by an external force. Examples include stroke, some types of tumour or damage that is caused when the brain is starved of oxygen, also called a hypoxic brain injury.
Traumatic Brain Injury describes when damage is caused to the brain by an external force or a blow to the head, such as an injury sustained in a road traffic accident.
A Stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is temporarily stopped due to a blockage or a blood clot. The lack of oxygen causes brain cells to die, which can result in stiffness and paralysis in the facial muscles, arms and legs. Find out more about stroke recovery.
