Knowledge #ABI Types

There are several types of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), including traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head, and non-traumatic brain injury caused by internal factors such as stroke, infection, or oxygen deprivation. Other types of ABI include anoxic brain injury, which results from a lack of oxygen to the brain, and acquired hydrocephalus, which is caused by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Each type of ABI can have unique symptoms and require different treatment approaches.
