The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) defines traumatic brain injury as an acquired condition that results when sudden trauma damages the brain. Traumatic brain injury most commonly occurs when an object pierces the skull and brain tissue, or when the head is suddenly and violently struck, bumped, or jolted, which disrupts the brain’s normal functions. The symptoms can be mild, moderate, or severe.
