An anoxic brain injury is when a brain does not receive adequate oxygen, usually resulting from a serious accident where heavy bleeding occurs. The consequences that follow an anoxic brain injury depend upon what area of the brain or spinal cord lacked oxygen and for how long.
Some symptoms of anoxic brain injury include:
- Behavior and personality changes - poor judgment, little initiative, immaturity, lack of concern, impulsiveness
- Difficulty processing visual images - unable to discern colors, shapes, and/or items
- Hearing difficulties - cannot associate words with meaning
- Memory loss - including the inability to remember newly learned data
- Speech and language disorders - including word finding skills and spontaneous speech
- Uncoordinated and/or irregular physical movements
- Weakness in the limbs (arms and legs)
An anoxic brain injury may be caused by many events, such as a surgical error, diving injury, heart attack, or internal bleeding. Like other types of brain injury, an anoxic brain injury is very serious and must be treated right away.
