Traumatic brain injury

Explanation:

Concussions are a form of mild traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury, often referred to as TBI, is most often an acute event similar to other injuries.

TBI occurs when an external mechanical force causes brain dysfunction. TBI usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. An object penetrating the skull, such as a bullet or shattered piece of skull, also can cause traumatic brain injury.
