Many people die at a young age.
The reasons may be different, but most often it is an injury.
Among all types of injuries, 50% belongs to skull injuries.
Craniocerebral trauma is disruption of the integrity of the skull of and such intracranial formations as vessels, nerves, brain tissue and membranes.
Consequences of trauma
Craniocerebral injury can have serious consequences.
Our brain receives and processes a large amount of information, so the consequences of injury can be completely different. In some cases it is impossible to make a conclusion, because the symptoms can only appear after a day.
For example, hematoma or cerebral edema.
Doctors classify the effects on acute disorders that occur immediately after injury and the long-term effects of craniocerebral trauma arising after a certain period.
No less frequent pinching of the facial and trigeminal nerves.
Classification of craniocerebral trauma
If the trauma of the scalp is not violated and the intracranial cavity is closed, is a closed trauma.
The open trauma of is a consequence of severe mechanical damage, as a result of which processes of interaction with the external environment are violated, the meninges with a high probability of infectious infection are damaged. 
Closed craniocerebral injury has less depressing consequences than those that can occur with open trauma, as the head cover remains intact and injuries of this type are aseptic.
An open craniocerebral injury can have more severe consequences. Most often, severe conditions appear in the form:
- Brain concussion( concussion). Occurs when a wide object hits, within a couple of seconds. As a rule, the head cover is not disturbed, but there may be attacks of vomiting and dizziness. Violations of the interaction between different parts of the brain are noted. Possible loss of consciousness and varying degrees of duration of amnesia.
- Brain contusion( concussion) can be of three degrees of complexity: light, medium and complex. It is a brain damage in a certain place, can cause both small hemorrhages and a rupture of brain tissue. Contusion occurs if one of the cranial fragments of the skull bones is damaged. Clinical symptoms appear instantly: prolonged loss of consciousness, amnesia, local neurological symptoms. In particularly severe cases, injuries of this kind, the consequences may occur after some time intervals. For example, epilepsy, speech disorders or coma.
- Compression in the skull of the of the brain due to swelling, blood flow, or when the bone is pushed into the cavity. There are headaches, drowsiness and nausea, the activity of the heart can be disturbed.
- Diffuse axonal brain damage , which manifests itself in the form of a coma for up to three weeks, which can go into a vegetative state.

Timely diagnosis of neurinoma of the auditory nerve will help to begin treatment without delay and achieve the desired result.
Emergency medical care for traumatic brain injury:
The most dangerous consequences of
All craniocerebral traumas are divided into three degrees of severity : mild, moderate and severe craniocerebral injury, the consequences of which are almost always irreversible.
Severe craniocerebral trauma has the most dangerous consequences, such as diffuse axonal damage, bruising and squeezing of the brain, confluence into coma and vegetative state.
A severe degree of a final brain injury is when the person is out of consciousness for 2 weeks , while vital functions also change the rhythm of their activities.
From the point of neurology, the brain stem gets a special defeat, as a result of which there may be no clear movements of the eyeballs, a violation of the swallowing reflex and muscle tone.
Traumatic hematoma is nothing but a consequence of the compression of the brain.
Hematomas are more likely to occur epidural and subdural.
The most important in this situation will be the diagnostics done on time. If the hematoma is not complicated and has a "light period", then the victim will start to recover after a while.
Hematoma on a coma is much more difficult to recognize, and it is explained only by a bruise of the brain tissue. With the formation and growth of bruises inside the skull, a tentorial hernia can develop, which is the protrusion of the brain into the hole through which the brain stem passes.
If the squeezing continues for a long period, the oculomotor nerve is affected, without the possibility of recovery.
The absence of normal physiological functioning of the cerebral cortex is called as a vegetative state of the brain.
Only the functions of the brainstem and the reticular formation are preserved, so the sleep and wake phase changes continue to work as usual. Being awake, a person lies with his eyes open, but does not contact the world around him.
If the dysfunction of the cortex is reversible, the patient can gradually recover consciousness, then psychosensory and psychomotor activity is reintegrated, after a while the person comes to full consciousness.
Unfortunately, not always the damage can be reversible. In such cases, the persistent vegetative state of the large brain is rapidly developing.
The life of a person continues only with the help of artificial preparations , which support the work of respiratory, cardiovascular and excretory systems in the norm. The lethal outcome is almost inevitable.
Craniocerebral injury and coma
Inflammation into a coma is also a dangerous consequence of a traumatic brain injury. In a state of coma, a person is unconscious, the functions of the central nervous system are suppressed, consciousness is lost, all vital human systems are gradually depressed.
There are three types of coma:
- pronounced , when the patient responds to pain stimuli;
- deep, at which one and several reflexes can be absent, normal muscle tone is absent, mydriasis( i.e., dilated pupil) is observed, respiration and circulatory process are disturbed;
- Beyond - human life is provided by the devices of ventilation and heart stimulation.
Long-term consequences of craniocerebral trauma
This category includes injuries, the symptoms of which may not appear immediately, but some time later. Such traumas are characterized by CNS disorders and can manifest themselves in :
- of limb sensitivity sensitivity;
- disorder of coordination of movements;
- disorder of vision;
- mental disorders.
Conclusions
Any damage to the body carries with it a bunch of health problems.
After such a complex trauma, as craniocereberous, not all people recover.
The further outcome depends on the initial gravity applied to the skull of the , and only then on timely diagnosis and treatment.
Most people continue to have residual symptoms throughout their later life. You need to remember that you can not buy health for money, so you need to try to protect it as the apple of your eye.
