Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become the signature injury of the military
conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and also has a high rate of occurrence in
civilian populations in the United States. Although the effects of a moderate to
severe brain injury have been investigated for decades, the chronic effects of
single and repetitive mild TBI are just beginning to be investigated. Data
suggest that the different types and severities of TBI have unique long-term
outcomes and thus may represent different types of diseases. Therefore, this
review outlines the causes, incidence, symptoms, and pathophysiology of mild,
moderate, and severe TBI.
