Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury to the brain caused by a trauma to the head (head injury). There are many possible causes, including road traffic accidents, assaults, falls and accidents at home or at work.
A traumatic brain injury can affect anyone at any age; but males between 15 and 24 years of age are more vulnerable due to their high-risk lifestyles. Young children and individuals over 75 years of age are also more susceptible to brain injury.
