An OVERVIEW

• Basically, a head injury is a type of injury that
  occurs to your skull, scalp, or brain. Well, a
  head injury can range from a mid-bruise to a
  traumatic brain injury. Some of the common head
  injuries are skull fractures, concussions, and
  scalp wounds. In fact, cardiovascular procedures
  can cause a head injury. CE-marked cerebral
  protection devices are used during cardiac
  procedures.
• The treatment and consequences depend on the type
  of head injury. Well, head injuries can be open
  or closed too. Its quite difficult to analyze
  how serious a head injury is just by seeing the
  patient. Some minor injuries bleed a lot.
  However, some major injuries dont bleed at all.
  Thus, its crucial to consult a doctor.
