You don’t need to lose consciousness to suffer a traumatic brain injury.

A traumatic brain injury may or may not involve loss of consciousness. Loss of consciousness is only one of several factors that may be used to diagnose a TBI. Other factors include:

·      Decreased level of consciousness.

·      Loss of memory immediately before or after the injury, i.e. amnesia.

·      Alteration in mental state, e.g. confusion, disorientation, slowed thinking.

·      Neurological deficits, e.g. weakness, loss of balance, change in vision.

·      Intracranial lesion, e.g. brain bleed, intracranial abnormality, skull fracture.
