Do you know anyone who suffered from a brain contusion?
My friend had a cyst rupture in his brain. Is that a hemorrhagic stroke? It was caused by getting hit in the head, though the bump was minor. So I guess I'm the one with the question for you lol
I was in hospital for a 6 weeks monitoring a potential brain abscess due to halo neck brace screw going an inch into the brain.
Ouch
Difficult to say without knowing the ins and outs!
@@Brainbook didn’t feel a think, only came up after a follow up, no headaches or anything
Any injury that puts pressure on an area repetitively can cause a contusion. Falls, blows sustained during fights or from falling objects, and car accidents may also cause bruises👍
Always learning from the best! 👍
Amazing!
Thank you for explaining 👍
Very nice explination.. Thank you..

Love your channel. Keep it up 👆
Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦
I've had a couple of subdural hematomas due to tearing of bridging veins ( I have NPH ). What is the difference between this and a brain contusion. ?
Thank you for such an informative series
Peter
Could you do a video about induced coma, when and why it's helpful for the brain?
I had a complex depressed skull fracture associated with a dural laceration and subdural hematoma and frontal contusion a year ago in a car accident.
This may stop me from playing sports entirely....
Yes I fell at least 50ft headfirst and cracked my skull open I had blood transfusion through blood loss they operated and had to have another operation as I had brain fluid leaking from my ears and noes I was left in a coma I was lucky because if I had been any older than 5 I would have died but I did die 3 times. I suffered brain damage and was in hospital for 6 weeks they asked me at 8 Yr old to have a mental plate in the front of my head because there is no bone there im now 39 I have a worst form of fibromyalgia and a few years ago I am suffering from a bilateral frontal lobe gliosis I would like to get research done so they can learn from me I went to pinderfields hospital in or near Sheffield I hope I helped anyone about my injury
Hello, Alex'! Very informative video. Could you please explain the use of dexamethasone for TBI. Thank you.
The CRASH trial showed higher morbidity in severe TBI. That's taken as the gold standard but meta analysis wasn't possible. There have been instances when we have used it selectively and not in severe TBI. Hence why we said you may be offered... we have quite a large audience and can't know what's offered everywhere!
after my work accident, i did not get a ct scan for six months and was turned down by neurologists four times
Still suffering 3 years after a tree crossed the road. Feels like having a mild hangover, but was send to a psychologist instead of a neurologist. Didn´t have the presence of mind to correct that. Finaly payed for the MRI myself. Nothing found, but the symtoms persist.
I´ve been told the affected brain cells remain dead, but the neurons find other pathways.
Same problem here 😢
I was told to take blood thinners... they said it would help??
I was a patient in Apollo. Due to this damage of this
Hi.. i am from India, i wanted to ask u about your videos.. can i make it in hindi language as your videos are very helpful for us and should be spread in common language here too, please let me know. Thanks

Great
Can chronic contusions is dangerous.please any one reply
Intresting, I was taught that steroids where a myth and actully increase mortality without decreasing ICP. I am guessing there is a difference in outcomes after a CT is done?
