DISEASE CONDITION
Disease name: HEAD INJURY WITH HEMIPLAGIA
INTRODUCTION
While the term "head injury" is most often used to refer to an injury to the brain, head injuries may also
involve the bones, muscles, blood vessels, skin, and other organs of the face or head. 
DEFINITION
A head injury is any trauma to the scalp, skull, or brain. The injury may be only a minor bump on the skull or
a serious brain injury.

REVIW OF ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY


 The brain is a fascinating and complex organ. It is responsible for senses, movement and control,
emotions and feelings, language and communication, thinking and memory. The brain and spinal
cord form the central nervous system. These vital structures are surrounded and protected by the
bones of the skull and the vertebral column.
 The brain consists of four main structures: the Cerebrum, the Cerebellum, the Pons, and the
Medulla.
 The Cerebrum is the upper part of the brain and is arranged in two hemispheres called cerebral
hemispheres. The cerebrum is thought to control conscious mental processes. The outer layer of the
cerebrum is called gray matter, the inner portion, white matte
 The Cerebellum is the part of the brain located between the brain stem and the back of the
cerebrum.  The cerebellum controls muscle coordination and maintains bodily equilibrium.
 The Pons is in front of the cerebellum and coordinates the activities of the cerebrum and the
cerebellum by receiving and sending impulses from them to the spinal cord.  
 The Medulla is part of the brainstem situated between the pons and the spinal cord and it controls
breathing, heartbeat, and vomiting
 There are many other anatomical features of the brain which specialize in various activities. 
The Meninges consist of three membranes which cover the brain and spinal cord including the dura
mater, the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater. They completely surround the brain and spinal
cord.

COMPLICATIONS
Seizures:
Infections: Meningitis can occur if there is a rupture in the meninges, the membranes around the brain.
Nerve damage:causing paralysis of facial muscles, double vision, problems with eye movement, and a loss of
the sense of smell.
Cognitive problems: People with moderate to severe TBI may experience some cognitive problems,
including their ability to:

 focus, reason, and process information

 communicate verbally and nonverbally

 judge situations

 multitask

 remember things in the short term
