Depending upon the cause and length of time since the even, they might. If it is an embolism and only a few hours it might be worth a try. READ MORE

Is weakness after a brain surgery normal?
Brain surgery is very traumatic to the system, creating a lot of stress and everyone reacts differently. I have had patients with large cystic hemispheric tumours go home the next day. Every person is different in their response. Might get a general workup to make sure she is not anaemic or some other thing slowing her recovery. READ MORE
Is there a surgery to treat ADHD?
I would highly advise any surgery. Also would not prescribe Adderall myself. Neurofeedback has shown some remarkable results, and would be worth a try. READ MORE

It is common following severe head injuries as you must have had after the car crash. You might see if there are programs for neuropsych rehab in your area. Might help. READ MORE
Awake during brain surgery?
With certain types of brain surgery, when operating around very special areas of the brain, we will keep the patient awake to avoid causing deficits which would not be able to be tested should the patient be asleep. READ MORE
What is a coma?
Loss of consciousness. READ MORE
Can a blood clot in the brain be removed by medicines alone?
It would need to be evaluated to see if it is causing significant mass effect upon the brain. It might be small enough that it could just be resorbed. READ MORE
Can back pain cause headaches?
You may have injured your neck as well. Cervicogenic headaches are very common. You might want to see a physiotherapist for treatment of your neck as well and see if they diminish. READ MORE
My baby's head size is big. Is it due to any abnormality?
Find the soft spot on the top of the babies head. IF it feels full, the problem could be Hydrocephalus (water on the brain). If not he is probably ok, but I would check that. Also during his healthy baby checkup, what percentage was his head circumference and his overall percentages of weight and height? If it is significantly greater than the weight and height percentages, it may be of concern. To relieve your concerns it might behoove you to see a neurosurgeon to be sure. READ MORE
Are all tumors cancerous?
There are many types of tumors that can occur in the brain, from metastasis to primary brain tumors. The primary intracranial tumors can be benign or malignant. You should have it seen by a neurosurgeon who can direct you on the next step. READ MORE
