Local Law Firms Home > Medical Malpractice Overview > Brain Injuries > Prescription Drug Errors When an individual suffers from an impact to the head due to an outside force, but the skull does not displace or break, the result is a closed head injury. When the brain swells due to a closed head injury, the brain has no room to expand. This can result in an increase in intracranial compression or the compression inside the skull.
If the brain swells and has no room to expand, this can result in brain tissues to become pressurized, resulting in additional acute brain injury. When the brain swells, it may enlarge through any accessible opening in the skull, such as the eye sockets. When the brain attempts to squeeze through the eye sockets, it can pressurize and affect the functions of the eye nerves.
