Head and brain injuries
Every year, millions of people in the U.S. sustain head and brain injuries. Some are minor because the skull is quite good at protecting the brain. More than half are bad enough that people must go to the hospital. Serious head injuries can lead to permanent brain damage or death.
Symptoms of minor head injuries usually go away without treatment. Serious head injuries need emergency treatment.
Treatment and outcome depend on the injury. People with severe injuries usually need rehabilitation.
