Head injuries can be<unk> d by a large variety of reasons. All of these<unk> s can be put into two categories used to classify head injuries; those that occur from impact (blows) and those that occur from shaking. Common<unk> s of head injury due to impact are motor vehicle traffic collisions, home and occupational accidents, falls, assault, and sports related accidents. Head injuries from shaking are most common amongst infants and children. According to the United States CDC, 32% of traumatic brain injuries (another, more specific, term for head injuries) are<unk> d by falls, 10% by assaults, 16.5% by being struck by or against something, 17% by motor vehicle accidents, and 21% by other/unknown ways. In addition, the highest rate of injury is among children ages 0–14 and adults age 65 and older. Brain injuries that include brain damage can also be brought on by exposure to toxic chemicals, lack of oxygen, tumors, infections, and stroke. Possible<unk> s of widespread brain damage include birth hypoxia, prolonged hypoxia (shortage of oxygen), poisoning by teratogens (including alcohol), infection, and neurological illness. Brain tumors can increase intracranial pressure,<unk> ng brain damage.
