Non-firearm open brain injury

Non-firearm craniocerebral open injury refers to open craniocerebral injury caused by severe blows of sharp or blunt objects. Unlike firearm injuries, it does not have a central coagulation necrosis area caused by the divergence of energy, and it does not produce a hedge injury at a stressed part. Craniocerebral injury is often limited to the point of stress. The severity of a brain injury depends on the location and depth of the injury. In general, damage to the forehead can cause personality changes, but the prognosis is good. Temporal damage is due to the proximity of the temporal part to the brainstem and main blood vessels, so the damage is greater. Can cause cavernous sinus, 3 to 6 damage to the cerebral nerve or internal carotid artery (front), and damage to the basilar artery or brain stem (rear). Damage to the posterior cranial fossa can be fatal.
