    The pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury involves both primary and secondary injury. The primary injury occurs when an external force, such as a motor vehicle accident, causes the brain to collide with the inside of the skull, resulting in fractures and tearing of brain tissue. This can lead to cerebral bleeding and contusions in affected areas like the left occipital and frontal lobes. Secondary injury involves brain swelling and hemorrhaging that increases intracranial pressure and decreases the brain's ability to function normally in affected regions.

    Pathophysiology of Traumatic Brain Injury

    Modifiable Factors Non-modifiable Factors


    -motor vehicular accident -Age (61 years old)
    -Sex (Male)

    External Force collides with the head

    Fractured skull Crashing of the brain back and forth of the skull

    Brain suffers from traumatic injury

    Cerebral bleeding and tearing of the affected area

    Primary Brain Injury

    CT scan reveals contusion on the left occipital area and frontal lobe

    Secondary Brain Injury

    Brain swelling Intracranial haemorrhage

    Decreased ability to perform the function of the affected part Increased Intracranial Pressure

    Contusion at the frontal lobe Contusion at left occipital area


    Increased Intracranial Pressure signs and
    symptoms
    Signs and symptoms of contusion
    Signs and symptoms of contusion -decreased level of consciousness
    at the occipital Area
    at the frontal lobe -headache
    -visual illusions
    -impulsiveness Tibia Fracture
    -hallucinations
    -visual disturbances
    -expressive aphasia -visual disturbances

    Non Modifiable Factors:


    Modifiable Factors:
    Age (61 years old)
    Motor Vehicular Accident External force Slams unto the Sex (Male)
    tibia

    Fractured Tibia

    The periosteum and blood


    vessel in the cortex and marrow
    of the tibia are disrupted.

    Soft tissue damage occurs

    Bleeding occurs from both soft


    tissue and from the damage
    ends of bones.

    Hematoma occurs as a
    compensatory mechanism
    (For healing)

    Bones tissue surrounding


    site dies

    Inflammation Occurs

    Vasodilation, edema, pain, loss


    of function, exudation of
    plasma and leukocytes and
    infiltration of white blood cells.
