Can you get permanent disablity for head injury?
I think Yes
Can there be personality changes before a person has their first seizure?
Epilepsy is a physical illness, not a psychological or psychiatric one. So in general the answer is no. One reason for Epilepsy can be a head injury. A head injury in itself could cause problems for a person which might change their behaviour, but it would be nothing to do with the Epilepsy. A change in behaviour would be another side-effect of the head injury like the Epilepsy itself would be, but they have no connection to each other. Those would be rare, so as I said, the answer to your question would be no in the vast majority of cases.

Why do parents and doctors get very worried if a child gets a head or spinal injury?
parents and doctors get very worried if a child gets a head or spinal injury because the spinal cord supports the whole body. So, if any damage is done than the child may become disable. Its the same case with a head injury. Brain cells cannot reproduce, so if there is any damage done it is permanent.

Pathophysiology of a head injury?
There are many different types of brain injury, depending upon the severity of the force upon the head, as well as which portion of the brain is affected. To simplify, brain injuries can be classified as traumatic or acquired, with additional types under each heading. All brain injuries are described as either mild, moderate, or severe. Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injury is a result of an external force to the brain that results in a change to cognitive, physical, or emotional functioning. The impairments can be temporary or permanent. Types of traumatic brain injury include: * Diffuse axonal injury. Shaking or strong rotation of the head causes brain structures to tear. Nerve tissue is disturbed throughout the brain. * Concussion. Caused by a physical force to the head that causes blood vessels to stretch and cranial nerves to be damaged. * Contusion. A result of a direct impact to the head, which causes bleeding on the brain. * Coup-contrecoup injury. The force to the brain is large enough to cause contusion at the side of impact, as well as the site opposite impact. * Penetration injury. The impact causes a foreign object to penetrate the skull. Acquired Brain Injury An acquired brain injury is an injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or the result of birth trauma. Acquired brain injury generally affects cells throughout the entire brain. Types of acquired brain injury include: • Axnoxic brain injury. This occurs when the brain doesn't receive oxygen.• Hypoxic brain injury. This occurs when the brain receives some, but not enough, oxygen.
What does closed head injury refer to?
Closed head injury refers to TBI in which the head is hit by or strikes an object without breaking the skull.
