Review after a head injury, including symptoms that persist, and a neurosurgical opinion on clots and fractures.
Most head injuries are minor and settle. But some cause bleeding inside the skull that develops slowly, and some leave symptoms that persist long after the scans have been declared normal. Both deserve proper attention rather than reassurance alone.
Go to a hospital casualty immediately, rather than booking an appointment, if after a head injury there is repeated vomiting, worsening drowsiness, confusion, a fit, weakness of an arm or leg, unequal pupils, or clear fluid from the nose or ear. These need assessment the same hour, not the same week.
This clinic is for what comes after: reviewing an injury already assessed, following up a clot being watched, and dealing with symptoms that have not settled.
Bring your CT or MRI films and the hospital discharge papers if you have them.
Including chronic subdural haematoma, which can develop weeks after a minor fall, especially in older people.
Assessment and follow-up of fractures treated conservatively or surgically.
Headache, dizziness, poor concentration or memory, and sleep disturbance after concussion.
Seizures that begin after a head injury, assessed with EEG at our own centre.
Headache, dizziness, poor concentration, irritability and disturbed sleep can continue for weeks or months after a head injury, even when the CT was normal. People are often told there is nothing wrong, which is both unhelpful and not quite true: the scan being normal means there is no bleed, not that nothing happened.
These symptoms are real, usually improve with time and the right management, and are worth assessing properly. Where seizures have begun after an injury, EEG is available at our centre.
Please note: NeuroMet Wellness is an outpatient clinic. Consultation, review of your scans, and second opinions happen here; if a surgery is advised, it is carried out by Dr. Rana at his hospital, Paras Health, Gurugram.
Repeated vomiting, increasing drowsiness, confusion, a fit, weakness of an arm or leg, unequal pupils, or clear fluid from the nose or ear all need a hospital casualty immediately, not an outpatient appointment.
Yes. A chronic subdural haematoma can develop weeks after what seemed a minor knock, particularly in older people and those on blood thinners. New headache, confusion or weakness after such a fall should be assessed.
A normal CT means there is no bleed; it does not mean nothing happened. Headache, dizziness and poor concentration after concussion are common, real, and usually improve with time and proper management.
No. Some are watched with repeat scans and settle on their own. Whether to operate depends on the size, the location, and how the person is doing clinically.
Review and follow-up happen at NeuroMet Wellness. If an operation is advised, it is carried out by Dr. Rana at his hospital, Paras Health, Gurugram.
