Child Brain Injuries in Virginia: Effects of Damage to the Temporal Lobe

After suffering a head injury, a child may be at-risk of suffering a rare brain disorder, called agnosia, that can make it difficult for the child to recognize objects or even people, according to the Associated Content website.  Although agnosia can inflict head or brain injury victims of all ages, children who suffer an injury to the brain's temporal lobe may be more likely to develop the condition.  Since the temporal lobe is responsible for a variety of functions performed on a daily basis, such as recognizing objects, it is essential that you seek medical care for your child as soon as you realize he or she has suffered a blow to the head.  Although there is no known treatment for agnosia, medical options may be available for the treatment of other brain injuries, and brain rehabilitation programs can be helpful.
