There is always brain damage with a brain injury which is what this is. The younger you are the faster and more likely you are to recover but the brain tends to rewire more than recover so a small section will die and a compensation wiring will be employed to 'fix' the problem. Brain injuries are cumulative and over a life time stack up until things like dementia / Parkinson's start to present themselves.
How will we know if there was brain damage?

Whoosh!
I think the comment was referring to the fact that one must first have a brain in order to damage it.
