Mild Head Injury

A head injury is suffered when any type of trauma leading to the injury of the scalp, skull or brain is suffered. Ranging in severity, a mild head injury normally requires no specific treatment. It is important that the symptoms of the mild head injury are closely monitored for the next day following the injury. Since the symptoms of a serious head injury may not immediately appear, a seemingly mild head injury may be a lot worse than initially expected.

A mild head injury can be the result of birth trauma. It is recommended to check a patient''s alertness by asking simple questions following the mild head injury, but assessing the real damage suffered by a baby can be much harder to determine due to the absence of communication abilities. Every head injury, ranging from mild to severe, is unique. Even though a patient suffering a mild head injury can appear fine on the outside, the damage suffered and the lasting effects it can have can contribute to varying cognitive difficulties, which in a baby can easily go unnoticed.
