Closed Head Injury

When the head is hit by an object or strikes something the result can be a closed head injury. There is no damage to the skull in a closed head injury, unlike an open head injury, just damage to the brain. The damage in a closed head injury can ivolve bruising or bleeding in the brain. A closed head injury is often untreated due to the fact there is no external evidence. Any head injury, including a close head injury, warrants immediate medical attention. If a close head injury is not treated the damage may be worse and can lead to more severe physical, emotional and psychological symptoms. While a close head injury may heal on their own in time, many can lead to lifelong, permanent damage.
