Blunt Head Trauma and Effects Two types of head trauma can occur: concussion and contusion. With a concussion, the brain is shaken, while a contusion causes direct injury to the brain.

cerebrovascular accident cerebrovascular accident, cerebrovascular insult (CVI), an abnormal condition of the brain characterized by occlusion by an embolus, thrombus, or cerebrovascular hemorrhage or vasospasm, resulting in ischemia of the brain tissues normally perfused by the damaged vessels. The sequelae of a cerebrovascular insult depend on the location and extent of ischemia. Paralysis, weakness, sensory change, speech defect, aphasia, or death may occur. Symptoms remit somewhat after the first few days as brain swelling subsides.

- Side Impact Accidents, Crash, T Bone Collisions, Broadside Crashes, Wrecks: Pictures. Side Collisions are more likely to be fatal than front or rear end accidents of similar force. This is because the side of the vehicle is usually far less protected than the front or rear and there is less protecting the people inside. Although side air bags can help, they offer little help in a serious broadside crash. This type of crash is usually caused by one car not yielding the right of way, resulting in a bad crash.
