There are various types of head injuries, some of the major types are as follows: hematoma, hemorrhage, concussion, edema, skull fracture, diffuse axonal injury and some others. Your head has more blood vessels than any other part of your body, so bleeding on the surface of your brain or within your brain is a serious concern in head injuries. However, not all head injuries cause bleeding. One of the first ways doctors may assess your head injury is with the glasgow coma scale (gcs). The gcs is a 15-point test that assesses your mental status. A high gcs score indicates a less severe injury. Looking for signs of trauma, including bruising and swelling also needs to be determined. Imaging tests are commonly used to diagnose head injuries. A ct scanmay help to look for fractures, evidence of bleeding and clotting, brain swelling, and any other structural damage.
