Long-term effects of Traumatic Brain Injury

The long-term effects of TBI are governed by the part of the brain where the trauma happened. The cerebral cortex is frequently the primary part of the brain where an injury happens during head trauma. Inflammation and swelling inside the brain damage the nerves and tissues, causing significant long-term damage. These are the following consequences of the TBIs according to the area which suffered trauma-

Forehead: It regulates problem-solving, consciousness, memory, reasoning, judgment, attention and other motor skills.

The back of the brain governs the smaller movements associated with hands and feet.

Left Side of the brain: It can cause problems with logical and speech abilities, reading and writing and trouble talking and understanding others.

The right Side of the brain can cause difficulties in vision and processing visual information or doing everyday tasks. For example, they might grab a brush and forget what it is used for.

Trauma to the center can cause trouble breathing, understanding temperature, loss of emotions and irregular hunger patterns.

  • Sensitivity to heat and cold

  • Bad or metallic taste in mouth and tongue
  • Seizures

Children can have different effects than adults and may face any of these long-term challenges-

  • Loss of Interest in favorite activities or toys
  • Not able to speak properly
  • Problem sleeping at their regular times
  • Unable to interact at all
  • Changes in their eating habits
  • Persistent crying
  • Excessive irritable behavior

Apart from the physical outcomes, there are many other social and emotional challenges of a long-term TBI.

Loss of income/Fewer chances of employment– It is difficult for people with severe TBI to get back to the same work.

Loss of interest in social activities– They engage less in recreational and leisure activities.

Decreased life expectancy: People with moderate to severe TBI have a higher likelihood of death early in their life because of the inability of the brain and the body to function properly.

The Centres for disease control and prevention show that TBIs have risen since 2001. Any brain injury to a person suffering from them is traumatic. While each brain is unique, and so is the recovery, medical surgeries and treatments are usually costly in the long run. We recommend you take the help of a skilled attorney and file a claim to recover a high compensation amount that can cover the injury’s future medical costs.
