Following an accident where you hit your head or where your head and neck suffer violent acceleration and deceleration, you may not even realize that you have sustained a brain injury.
Brian Injuries: Difficult to Detect
If you were in a car or truck accident, you may not comprehend the extent of your injuries. For example, an effect of a concussion, a coma or extensive cognitive impairment may not be readily apparent immediately after an accident. In many cases, the symptoms are so subtle that only a professional neurophysiologist can identify the injuries.
It is important that friends and loved ones be attentive to changes in behavior or cognition, as this may be the first sign that deeper damage has occurred. Prompt intervention and treatment is critical to a beneficial outcome. Significant healing occurs in the brain early on, and then slows down to a low-level by one year following the accident.
