<unk> , Latin<unk> cerebri, a form of traumatic brain injury, is a bruise of the brain tissue. Like bruises in other tissues,<unk>  can be associated with multiple microhemorrhages, small blood vessel leaks into brain tissue.<unk>  occurs in 20–30% of severe head injuries. A cerebral laceration is a similar injury except that, according to their respective definitions, the pia-arachnoid membranes are torn over the site of injury in laceration and are not torn in<unk> . The injury can cause a decline in mental function in the long term and in the emergency setting may result in brain herniation, a life-threatening condition in which parts of the brain are squeezed past parts of the skull. Thus treatment aims to prevent dangerous rises in intracranial pressure, the pressure within the skull.<unk> s are likely to heal on their own without medical intervention.
