Blowout Fracture Research Paper

289 Words2 Pages

Individuals are grateful for their eyes, but rarely does anyone think, “what holds my eyes in place, and how is my eye protected?” This is what the orbit is responsible for, which contains the bones surrounding the eyes (“Blowout Fracture,” n.d.). Orbital fractures happen a lot, but one of the most common is a blowout fracture, which results from direct trauma to the orbit such as a small sports ball or a fist (Gaillard, n.d.). Luckily, our eyes usually do not undergo significant damage due to the orbit protecting them, but unfortunately the bones at the bottom of the orbit known as the orbital floor are thin and typically break easy causing a blowout (Zeigler, n.d.).

    I am doing The Second Impact Syndrome it was when the brain swells rapidly and catastrophically, after a person suffers a second concussion before symptoms of an earlier one have subsided. This injury only happens in football. Second impact may be relatively minimal and not involve contact with the cranium. Impact disrupts the brain’s blood autoregulatory system, leading to swelling, increasing intracranial pressure.

I’m torn between Peter’s statement that “trauma is the ineffable,” that “it is not reliable” and Naomi’s insight that we—all of us—make choice in life and in so doing, close doors on other opportunities. Perhaps the two are connected in some way, and I hope to do this in this construction.

    A concussion is a head injury which results from the movement of the brain in the skull causing the brain to hit the sides of the skull which can cause swelling, bleeding, or other serious injury. Concussions can be linked to neurological trauma, especially after a patient suffers from multiple head traumas. This link was first considered when Phineas Gage, in 1848, suffered an injury from an iron spike being driven through his head, and following the injury, exhibiting extreme personality changes. Some 170 years later, these same personality differences can be observed in patients following head trauma. Some symptoms for concussion include; headache or a feeling of pressure in the head, temporary loss of consciousness, dizziness or "seeing

Depending on the severity and condition of the injury, individuals diagnosed with a TBI will be affected by symptoms that they have never experienced before.
