Corpse sustained a anoxic brain injury when he was four years old. ABI is a brain injury that occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen. In Corpse’s case this was sustained from drowning in a river near his family’s home. Anoxic brain injuries can be very severe, leading to comas, seizures, and even brain death. In less severe cases they can still be disabling. The prognosis for ABIs is not as good as for TBIs. The brain being injured by force is significantly different from the brain experiencing cell death due to oxygen deprivation. Still, it is possible for some people to recover and eventually become independent (often through intensive physical and occupational therapy, usually in-patient). In some ways though, anoxic brain injury resembles other kinds of TBIs, such as ones from blunt force trauma. In less severe cases issues with self control, judgement, memory, motor function, and executive functioning can still be effective. People who sustain anoxic brain injuries can have issues resembling the problems that someone born with a learning disability might face.
