A mechanical impact, blow, or fall can cause a contusion of the soft tissues of the head. This injury is common and may be accompanied by abrasions, scratches, and hematomas. It can be mild or severe, with significant bleeding.
A hematoma may appear immediately or after some time, depending on the depth of the injury. In severe cases, memory gaps, disorientation, and bleeding in the brain are possible.
The injured person should be placed in a semi-reclining position, with the upper body raised about 30 degrees, and a cold compress should be applied for 10 minutes. Ice should not be kept on longer, to avoid causing harm. Any abrasions or other wounds should be treated. If the pain is severe, a painkiller may be taken until a doctor arrives.
Diagnosis usually requires only a visual examination by a trauma specialist, and sometimes an X-ray. Depending on the symptoms and the severity of the injury, the patient is either hospitalized or treated at home. Recovery requires complete rest and may take a long time.
