Nearly 1.4 million people in the United States suffer a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) every year. TBI can disrupt brain function. This often occurs even without a direct blow to the head and without an obvious loss of consciousness. Sometimes, after trauma, the injured person is only momentarily dazed or confused, yet brain injury may have occurred. Motor vehicle accidents and slips and falls are leading causes of TBI, but, because it is often a subtle injury, it frequently goes unnoticed by doctors, patients, family and friends. For example, what is commonly thought to be only a "whiplash" injury may be accompanied by Traumatic Brain Injury, which occurs when the brain is bruised when it is slammed against the inside of the skull in the swift, violent forces of a sudden "acceleration-deceleration" incident. Injured persons, family and friends should be on the alert to notice any, even slight, changes in memory, concentration, forgetfulness, disorientation, getting lost in familiar surroundings, even the sense of smell, and report these to the treating doctor at once.
