Cranial trauma or a head injury was a term used for when a person was hit on the head violently or suffered from an injury from hitting their head. This could result in brain damage or cerebral trauma.

In 2369, Doctor Julian Bashir examined Chief Miles O'Brien after he had been found to be suffering from aphasia. Bashir could not find any signs of cranial trauma, which, along with a stroke, was usually a possible cause of aphasia.
