A “brain contusion” is defined as “a bruise on the brain” according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Thus, a brain contusion is blood leaking from nearby veins mixing with brain tissues.

Types of Brain Trauma

Motor vehicle accidents account for over half of all reported traumatic brain injuries. This figure is no surprise seeing as how fast trucks, motorcycles, and cars travel. Vehicle-related brain injuries fall into one of two categories.

  • Brain contusion: Contusions caused by the sudden and abrupt smashing of a vehicle into a static object result in brain contusions. Moreover, airbags have been known to cause brain contusions while preventing blunt force trauma.
  • Blunt force trauma: Blunt force trauma in a motor vehicle accident occurs when the skull hits an object, such as the dashboard, steering wheel, windshield, etc.

What are the Symptoms of a Brain Contusion?

As opposed to blunt force trauma injuries, brain contusions rarely have outward symptoms. The following are examples of warning signs one should be on the look out for after a motor vehicle accident:

  • Numbness in certain body parts
  • Memory loss
  • Coordination difficulties
  • Motor skill difficulties
  • Inability to understand speech
  • Emotional disturbances and mood swings
  • Mood swings
