A member asked:
Is it true that acquired brain injury and traumatic brain injury are the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar: Traumatic specifically deals with trauma. Acquired includes a few other types of brain injury, such as anoxic, encephalopathic, infectious, etc. So a traumatic brain injury is an acquired brain injury, but an acquired brain injury is not necessarily traumatic. Hope that helps!
