Head Injury?
Q. I had a head injury 5 years ago, ever since I experience, at times, severe dizziness. When I told my doctor this about a year after the injury, she said it was normal but after all this time I really wonder if there is something wrong? I also have calcium deposits on my skull which is suppose to be nothing serious either. Does anyone have any insight to this?

What is the chance of surviving a second severe head injury?
Q. A friend of mine sustained a very severe head injury about two years ago and has never been the same since. Last night he got into a brawl and was knocked unconcious by the fighter. I heard that the blows from the fight weren't that serious. He got up and walked away from the fight, however, later he began puking up blood and others called an ambulance. He was flown out by helicopter to a critical care unit in Westchester County. He is currently under a medicated coma and is on life support. Whats the chance of surviving TWO head tramas?

A. Assuming that the damage is not compounded, there really isn't any codependence. Statistically, the odds of surviving any type of accident don't change based upon previous history. For instance, the odds of surviving a lightning bolt might be 50%. That does not meant that if you get hit again, you're automatically going to die. If you're all healed up and in the same condition when the second bolt hits, you're back to 50% (or maybe a little less...since you might be a little older, a little weaker, etc..). However, if the 2nd bolt struck you while you were recovering in the hospital and connected to a pace maker, it wouldn't be an independent event.

Can a head injury cause total retrograde amnesia?
Q. Is it possible that a person forgets everything he/she has lived until the moment she sustains the head injury? By "Total" I mean the person forgets *everything* she has lived I've made my research in wikipedia before asking this question, so copy/paste from wikipedia isn't really what I'm looking for here.
Asked by filipeacaeiro - Sat Jul 5 19:58:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes, a trauma sustained by a head injury may result in retrograde amnesia and a " total " loss or partial loss of all long-term memory ( prior to the injury ) is a problem for these kind of patients. However, some " implicit memory " is still found compared to the case of " total " lose of the " explicit memory ". This is one of the reason why patients with retrograde amnesia receive priming of their memory and some can't be helped at all. Good Luck !

Can a head injury cause permanent anosmia?
Q. I noticed over the years that i have not been much able to smell, i think i have anosmia,but was it caused by a head injury i had at the back of my head or was i born with it, and i am currently 13?
Asked by Saul - Sun Jul 12 02:17:58 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It IS possible for a head injury to cause anosmia. If you are unlucky a head injury can cause the nerve that runs from the nose to the brain to break, and thus the sensory input from the smell receptors in the nose never reach the brain, and thus you can't smell. I have heard that this is most often caused by a hit to the front or back of the head. It is also possible that you are a congenital anosmic, that is you where born without a sense of smell. I am one of those people who was born without a sense of smell, but I was 15 before I realized that I was anosmic.

A. Head injury and foreboding architecture? You don't speak to the actual mental fitness of the man. It would be interesting to know his remembrance when he recovered. These ancient architects were instructed by the Church in the preferred appearance of these edifices. The churches accomplished their purpose by inflicting fear and trembling on their easily persuaded congregations who feared hell and damnation as they had been so infected with by the persuasion of the church hierarchy. Sounds like your 'victim,' at that early age, may have been so affected by the very scary appearance of one in his early youth. It's probable that members of his own family were participants in the unfortunate fantasy.

Can my puppy recover from this head injury?
Q. 6 days ago my 4 month old collie-cross was accidentally hit across the head with a bat while playing in the park & knocked out cold. My dad spent 15 mins giving her CPR and then rushed her to the vet. She spent 3 days there in a lot of pain, but there were no fractures on her xray. The vet said it was a brain injury and only time would tell. She's back home now and is making slow progress. She has moments where she is her old self again, but she can't seem to chew and her front right paw keeps buckling. Also she has trouble standing up when she wakes and whines at night because she can't get comfortable. She spends all her time doing laps of the house! Will time and TLC improve her situation or is there any at-home therapy that will help?

How do I know if I have a head injury?
Q. I was fighting with my brother and he hit my head on the floor twice..Now I have a mild headache and when I got up from the floor I lost my balance.

Is it possible to develop headaches, dizziness, depression, several years after a closed head injury?
Q. I fell riding my bike when I was 8 and hit the back right side of my head on the pavement. I immediately began to bleed from the ear. I don't remember what the doctor said at the time. But now at 34 I've been getting more headaches (many in the same spot as the injury) and I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. Looking back, I've also had a few dizzy spells over the years, a short temper, always been irritable, and had plenty of headaches. Only now, the headaches do not go away with over the counter medication. Also, I've had increasing pain in my neck, shoulder, jaw, and hip ALL on my right side. Could this all be related to that head injury so many years ago?

A. Main differences between a child with a Closed Head Injury and a child with a Specific Language Impairment: 1) Cause: Closed head injury is an injury or blunt trauma to the brain inside an intact skull. Injury to the brain causes swelling, which quickly increases the pressure within the skull (intracranial pressure). The increased pressure causes more damage to the brain, which causes more swelling, and so on. CHI is most commonly associated with motor vehicle, motor vehicle pedestrian, or motor vehicle bike accidents; falls; or sports-related injuries, but they can also be associated with incidents that result in a severe lack of oxygen to the brain such as near drowning or cardiac arrest.

A physician friend of yours is telling you about a patient with a head injury who suddenly stopped breathing.?
Q. A physician friend of yours is telling you about a patient with a head injury who suddenly stopped breathing. Your friend explains that the bony rim was pressing against the breathing center. You guess that the "bony rim" (whatever that is) must have been exerting pressure in the region of the cerebellum and cerebrum. thalamus and hypothalamus. spinal column of the upper back. medulla oblongata and pons. basal ganglia and hippocampus.

A. I cannot imagine the devestation you must be feeling right now. You've probably already been told this, but head injuries are tricky, there's no certain way to know how someone will recover. Right at the moment he still has a lot of swelling in the brain. It will take up to a couple of weeks for that to subside, and only then will you get a better idea of his long term possibilites. I have personally nursed 3 people whose head injuries left them totally dependent and non communicative for a year. All three went on to reclaim their speech and some of their movement and independence. The specialists tend to say, wait a year. At the moment, it definitely is a waiting game. There's nothing harder. The reality is that he's a very… [cont.]
