What is congenital and acquired in the context of traumatic brain injury?

  

Answers


Francis
- Congenital brain injuries are those that happen before a child is born. They are usually the result of a birth defect, the effect of the mother drinking alcohol while pregnant, or difficulties during the birthing process.
- Acquired brain injuries, which happen after birth, can be the result of medical conditions such as a stroke, encephalitis, aneurysms, meningitis or brain tumors.
- Brain injuries that are not the result of a medical condition are called Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and are usually the result of accidents involving 4-wheelers or snow machines, injuries from sports, hunting accidents, or injuries from falling.
