Neurological trauma is an injury to the brain, spine or nerves. This type of injury may happen due to accidents involving vehicles, sports, bikes or falls. It can often affect many areas of the body including the organs, blood vessels, muscles and bones .To treat this trauma , team of specialists are required.

Neurotrauma defines two complex conditions:

1. Acquired brain injury (ABI) and
2. Spinal cord injury (SCI).
3. Acquired brain injury can lead in problems with attention, planning and interacting with others.
4. Spinal cord injury can result to permanent paralysis.
5. People who have ABI or SCI may require help to carry out activities of daily living.
6. ABI and SCI are also linked to significant mental health issues such as depression and behavioural dysfunction.

Causes

Traumatic brain injury can be caused by a blow or other traumatic injury to the head or body. The degree of damage can depend on several factors that include the nature of the injury and the force of impact.

Common events causing traumatic brain injury include the following:

1. Falls: In older adults and young children, falls from bed or a ladder, down stairs, in the bath and other falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injury.
2. Vehicle-related collisions: Collisions involving cars, bicycles or motorcycles and pedestrians involved in such accidents are a common cause of traumatic brain injury.
3. Violence: Gunshot wounds, child abuse, domestic violence and other assaults are common causes. Shaken baby syndrome caused by violent shaking is a traumatic brain injury in infants.
4. Sports injuries: These are particularly common in youth. Traumatic brain injuries may be caused by injuries from a number of sports that include boxing, football, baseball, lacrosse, skateboarding, hockey, and other high-impact or extreme sports.
