Abstract:
The author presents an account of contemporary knowledge on the classification of brain injuries and different types of these injuries which comprise a wide range from minor injuries of the head with impairment of memory to severe lethal injuries. The author emphasizes the differentiation of two basic types of injuries--primary and secondary, because this differentiation is important for the prognosis of the casualty as well as for the therapeutic strategy. He emphasize also the fact that the target group in brain injuries are patients with secondary damage which is caused as a rule by a sequelae of intracranial hypertension.

Amnesia
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
