Symptoms of mild brain injury

Disturbance of consciousness: the injury occurred immediately. The degree and duration of disturbance of consciousness are directly related to the degree and scope of brain contusion and laceration, most of which are more than half an hour. Severe cases can be in a coma for a long time. If there is no diffuse brain injury caused by inertial force, there will be no early disturbance of consciousness.

Focal symptoms and signs: immediately after the injury, neurological dysfunction or signs corresponding to the injury focus, such as pyramidal tract sign, limb twitch or hemiplegia in motor area injury, aphasia in Language Center injury, etc. No local symptoms or signs were found in the "dumb area".

Headache and nausea and vomiting: may be related to intracranial pressure, autonomic nerve dysfunction or traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, the latter may also have meningeal irritation, cerebrospinal fluid examination with red blood cells and other manifestations.

matters needing attention

Keep respiratory tract unobstructed: due to deep coma, tongue drop, cough, swallowing dysfunction, frequent vomiting and other factors, the patient is easy to cause mechanical obstruction of respiratory tract. The secretion of respiratory tract should be removed in time. Tracheotomy should be performed in time for patients who are expected to be in coma for a long time or complicated with severe maxillofacial injury and chest injury to ensure unobstructed respiratory tract.
