Head Injuries
This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Head injuries include any damage to the scalp, skull, or brain and may be caused by traffic accidents, sports injuries, falls, workplace accidents or assaults. The most serious consequence of head injuries is traumatic brain injury. Head injuries fall into two categories: closed head injuries and penetrating head injuries. A closed head injury is caused by the collision of the head with another surface such as the head hitting a car's windshield. In a penetrating head injury an object has lacerated the scalp, fractured the skull, and entered the brain. Either type of injury can cause damage ranging from mild to severe and resulting in disability or death.
