Acquired brain injury (ABI)
Brain injury
What is an acquired brain injury?
If you receive a brain injury after birth, it’s called an acquired brain injury. This can be caused as a result of infections such as meningitis, encephalitis, damage caused by an illness such as a stroke, a haemorrhage or a tumour, all of which affect the way in which the brain functions.
What are the effects of an acquired brain injury?
The majority of people that go into hospital with a head injury experience no lasting effects, but a few can be affected severely.
Patients might experience:
- inability to move one or more limbs
- slurred speech or blurred vision
- a severe headache
- convulsions
- irritability, personality changes or unusual behaviour
- restlessness, clumsiness, lack of coordination
You or a family member or friend can contact us on 03700 868 686 to arrange an immediate visit so we can discuss your situation and offer our specialist help.
