Car accident injury to the head can not speak may be traumatic brain injury caused by damage to the language center of the brain, resulting in aphasia.
Injury to the head in a car accident may cause damage to the speech center, such as cerebral contusion, hemorrhage compression of nerves, hemorrhage compression of blood vessels around the speech center resulting in ischemia of the speech center. Some patients can gradually recover their speech function through active treatment, oral or intravenous injection of nutritive nerve drugs (such as cytarabine), acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and speech function training.
Some patients with severe injuries that require surgical treatment may suffer irreversible damage to the speech center because normal brain tissue and blood vessels will be damaged in order to stop bleeding during the surgery, so patients will suffer permanent aphasia, which usually cannot be fully recovered even through treatment.
Aphasia after traumatic brain injury needs to be stabilized in time to carry out speech rehabilitation training, in order to maximize functional recovery.
