South Dakota: Brain Injury Types

A penetration brain injury occurs when an object, such as a bullet or knife, enters the brain. Along with the object, pieces of bone, hair and skin, can enter, causing brain damage. Many people who survive penetrating brain injuries in South Dakota develop late-onset epilepsy.

An object that exits the skull after entering, such as a bullet, can cause a perforating injury. The bullet is also able to bounce off the inside of the skull, creating even more brain damage. Firearms cause more deaths than any other cause of traumatic brain injuries.
