Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

DefinitionTraumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disturbance of normal brain function induced by an external mechanical force, such as a direct blow to the head or a penetrating injury. It can affect both brain structure and function, producing a wide range of clinical outcomes. TBI is a heterogeneous condition, meaning its effects may differ based on the type, location, and severity of the injury.Basis of ClassificationTBI is classified based on severity, injury mechanism, or pathophysiology.

Summary

Self-inflicted screwdriver cranial trauma is rare. This case highlights how serial imaging and surgery are crucial for diagnosing and managing these injuries, especially with imaging artifacts, leading to significant neurologic recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Transcranial screwdriver injuries are uncommon low-velocity penetrating cranial traumas.
