What is the best way to determine internal head injury?
It would depend to some degree when her accident occueerd. For days or even weeks, studies such as an MRI may not show any changes. Occasionally edema can be seen at the site of the blow. Generally, if she did not have any loss of consciousness or prolonged disorientation, it would be unlikely that she had any internal injury. If over time you see a change in personality, behavior, or grades, then an MRI might show something but it would most likely require neuropsych testing to reveal any deficits. With even a casual blow to the head, the most likely neurological change would be in attention or concentration. Often with a subtle blow to the head this eventually resolves. I think that it’s most likely that her scalp and skull dissipated any force from such a fall and I think it is unlikely that she sustained any internal injury. READ MORE
