When the head strikes a fixed object, the<unk>  injury occurs at the site of impact and the<unk>  injury occurs at the opposite side. In head injury, a<unk>  injury occurs under the site of impact with an object, and a<unk>  injury occurs on the side opposite the area that was hit.<unk>  and<unk>  injuries are associated with cerebral contusions, a type of traumatic brain injury in which the brain is bruised.<unk>  and<unk>  injuries can occur individually or together. When a moving object impacts the stationary head,<unk>  injuries are typical, while<unk>  injuries are produced when the moving head strikes a stationary object.<unk>  and<unk>  injuries are considered focal brain injuries – those that occur in a particular spot in the brain – as opposed to diffuse injuries, which occur over a more widespread area. Diffuse axonal injury is the most prevalent pathology of<unk><unk> . The exact mechanism for the injuries, especially<unk>  injuries, is a subject of much debate. In general, they involve an abrupt deceleration of the head, causing the brain to collide with the inside of the skull. It is likely that inertia is involved in the injuries, e.g. when the brain keeps moving after the skull is stopped by a fixed object or when the brain remains still after the skull is accelerated by an impact with a moving object. Additionally, increased intracranial pressure and movement of cerebrospinal fluid following a trauma may play a role in the injury.
