Head injuries are damage to the scalp, skull, or brain caused by trauma.
When it affects the brain, they’re called a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Head injuries are considered an acceptable risk when engaging in sports

and other types of recreational activities. But they’re dangerous.
They can lead to-
 Permanent disability
 Mental impairment
 Even death.
Types of Head Injuries:
There are many different types of head injuries.
1. Concussion: This is the most common type of head injury. A
concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that happens
when the brain is jarred or shaken hard enough to bounce against the
skull. It can range from mild to severe. You don't have to be hit in the
head to get a concussion. An impact elsewhere on the body can create
enough force to jar the brain. A concussion or other head injury can
also happen when two athletes collide or a player is hit in the head with
a piece of sporting equipment. In soccer, even "heading" the ball can
cause a concussion.
2. Contusion: A bruise on the actual brain itself is called a contusion. It
can cause bleeding and swelling.
3. Intracranial hematoma (ICH): This is bleeding under the skull in the
brain that forms a clot. Brain hematomas range from mild to severe and
are grouped according to where they form.
4. Skull fracture: Broken skull bone can affect the brain. The broken
pieces of bone can cut into the brain and cause bleeding and other types
of injury.
