What is the difference between an acquired brain injury and a traumatic brain injury?

Whereas a TBI is the result of an external impact to a person’s skull, an acquired brain injury occurs after birth but is not genetic or caused by birth trauma. Acquired birth injuries are usually caused by events, such as strokes, tumors, heart attacks, near-drownings, or other medical conditions, while TBIs are often the results of events like falls, motor vehicle accidents, or other violent collisions.
