What is Acquired Brain Injury?
It is a sudden injury to the brain that is characterized by its sudden onset and the varied set of consequences it presents depending on the area of the brain injured and the severity of the damage. These consequences cause anomalies in perception, physical, cognitive and emotional alterations.
The main cause of brain damage is stroke, followed by head trauma and diseases such as anoxia, brain tumors or infections. Strokes, also called cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), are caused by the sudden interruption of blood flow in an area of the brain. The 44% of people who survive a stroke develop severe disability from the resulting damage.
When the origin of the brain injury is a blow, we speak of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many traumatic brain injuries that cause brain damage occur as a result of a traffic accident. Other situations that can cause it are work accidents, falls or physical attacks.
