Heads-Up On Traumatic Brain Injury

Ann Arbor, MI -Inge Ferguson, 46, feels a profound sense of loss. A highly educated computer programmer, she has recurring migraine headaches, loses track of things like her keys and glasses, and sometimes shows up for appointments at the wrong time or the wrong day. Ferguson left her job following a traumatic brain injury four years ago from which she has never fully recovered.

Percival Pangilinan Jr., M.D., of the University of Michigan Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, says more than half a million people each year sustain a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. These brain injuries are caused when the brain, which floats in cerebral fluid, smashes against the hard wall of the skull following an impact. They are often caused by motor vehicle or sports traumas, but also can be caused by physical abuse or violence – including shaking a small child or infant – or, surprisingly, by mundane household or workplace accidents.

Ferguson, for example, sustained her TBI when she fell on concrete stairs at work, breaking her wrist and gashing her face. It wasn't until she was recovering from these injuries that she noticed signs of a concussion. Read more at med.umich.edu
