Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden force or blow to the head disrupts normal brain function. Common causes include falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or violent impacts. Such trauma can happen at any age and generally requires skilled medical intervention.

TBIs range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, with symptoms that may include:

  • Headache
  • Confusion
  • Dizziness
  • Memory problems
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Mood changes
  • Loss of consciousness

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on severity and may include rest, medications, rehabilitation therapies, or surgery to reduce pressure and repair damage. Surgical intervention is only performed when absolutely necessary. Dr. Sarkiss has worked for years as a brain surgeon and compiled a skilled medical staff that he trusts for patient care.
