Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when an unexpected trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can result from the head experiencing a sudden and forceful impact with an object or when an object penetrates the skull and enters the brain tissue. The symptoms of TBI vary from mild to severe, depending on the extent of the brain damage. Individuals with mild TBI may remain conscious or experience a brief loss of consciousness lasting several seconds or minutes. TBI is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, maintaining its status as a primary cause of death and disability among adolescents in developed countries.
