Anterograde (Posttraumatic) Amnesia
🗸🗸: Inability to remember events after an injury.
Basilar Skull Fractures
🗸🗸: Usually occur following diffuse impact to the head (such as falls, motor vehicle
crashes); generally result from extension of a linear fracture to the base of the skull
and can be difficult to diagnose with a radiograph (x-ray).
Battle's Sign
🗸🗸: Bruising behind an ear over the mastoid process that may indicate a skull
fracture.
Cerebral Edema
🗸🗸: Swelling of the brain.
Closed Head Injury
, 2
🗸🗸: Injury in which the brain ahs been injured but the skin has not been broken and
there is no obvious bleeding.
Concussion
🗸🗸: A temporary loss or alteration of part of all of the brain's abilities to function
without actual physical damage to the brain.
Connecting Nerves
🗸🗸: Nerves in the spinal cord that connect the motor and sensory nerves.
Coup-Contrecoup Injury
🗸🗸: Dual impacting of the brain into the skull; coup injury occurs at the point of
impact; Contrecoup injury occurs on the opposite side of impact, as the brain
rebounds.
Distraction
🗸🗸: the action of pulling the spine along its length.

intraparenchymal hematoma.
ICP
🗸🗸: Intracranial Pressure.
Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
, 4
🗸🗸: The pressure within the cranial vault.
Involuntary Activities
🗸🗸: Actions of the body that are not under a person's conscious control.
Linear Skull Fractures
🗸🗸: Account for 80% of skull fractures; also referred to as nondisplaced skull
fractures; commonly occur in the temporal-parietal region of the skull; not associated
with deformities to the skull.
Meninges
🗸🗸: Three distinct layers of tissue that surround and protect the brain and the spinal
cord within the skull and the spinal canal.
Open Head Injury
🗸🗸: Injury to the head often caused by a penetrating object in which there may be
bleeding and exposed brain tissue.
