Brain injury: Brain injury is most commonly the result of trauma involving external force applied to the brain causing a concussion. This involves inflammation and swelling of the tissues (cells) in the brain. When brain cells swell they do not function normally. Which symptoms are caused all depends on where in the brain the cells are located. Other factors that increase brain pressure are bleeding & stroke.
