head trauma

Head trauma refers to any injury to the skull, brain, or scalp resulting from an impact or force. It can range from mild, like a concussion, where there may be temporary confusion, to severe injuries causing lasting damage. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, memory problems, or loss of consciousness. Head trauma can occur from falls, sports injuries, or accidents. It’s important to seek medical attention after any significant head injury, as complications can arise even if symptoms initially seem mild. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for recovery and to prevent long-term effects.
