Question 1

what is left parietal hematoma? 
is parietal hematoma and subdural hematoma same?

Accepted Answer

Hematoma- blood coll: Hematoma is collection of blood somewhere in the body...anywhere in the body....it's called a hematoma.  Parietal tells us the location (Parietal lobe of the brain) usually due to high blood pressure while Subdural hematoma means collection of blood below the level of the DURAL cover of the covering of the brain called the meninges...often times traumatic cause but also often can be spontaneous.

Question 2

had a recent fall my ct results: normal noncontrast ct the brain. high left parietal scalp hematoma. its been 5days and i am okay in am but in the evening it starts to hurt and i get tired is this normal? or should i go get another ct?

Accepted Answer

: Trauma enough to create a scalp hematoma can give rise to migraine equivalent headaches a week or more after the event. By itself, hurting and getting tired are not reasons for a new study. I would confer with your doc who can decide if you need to come in for an exam. An exam could detect any abnormality that would require further imaging studies.

Question 3

what do you mean by: 1. scalp hematoma, left parietal region 2, cerebral contusion left parietal lobe 3. cerebral contusion left base cerebral hemisph?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a : Bad head injury. The hematoma is bleeding in the scalp tissue. The underlying brain tissue is also "bruised".  Was there trauma, or is the patient on blood thinners?

Question 4

my daughter's usg brain report says "a scalp hematoma measuring 11.3 x 3.5 mms is seen over the left parietal
area."i am afraid. what should i do .

Accepted Answer

Puzzling question: A scalp hematoma means there is a collection of blood under the skin of the scalp. This usually reflects a broken blood vessel from trauma. It usually hurts, can persist for days or weeks, but has little if any importance. It is not by itself any sort of brain injury. It is not inside the skull.

Question 5

can a bruise on the back of the parietal bone cause a haemangioma?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: A hemangioma is a slow-growing benign vascular (blood vessel) lesion.  The blood vessels just grow that way sometimes.  A bruise is caused by leakage of blood from one or more capillaries (the tiniest blood vessels), usually due to an injury.

Question 6

my husband had a hematoma on his left side they said surgery is not required but how is he supposed to deal with this pain if it's extremely bad.

Accepted Answer

Pain: go with combination of paracetamol and ibuprofen if not allergic to them.

Question 7

can you work with a fresh hematoma? its a high pace work environment that requires a lot of arm work. the hematoma is on my left arm?

Accepted Answer

: You should put a cold pack to prevent the hematoma from getting larger. Apply a bandage that mildly compresses the area. It would be preferable to rest the affected arm. If you can work without taking your left arm, you may continue working.

Question 8

i have a pain located on the left side of the back of my neck. it feels like an hematoma but i haven't been injured. what could it be ?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: Many causes, could be a lymph node or collection under the skin like Lipoma (sac of oil)

Question 9

i have a hematoma on my left hip where a tree fell on me 4 years ago that has never completely went away. it is still fairly large. will it never go away????

Accepted Answer

: It is no longer a hematoma but likely a fibrotic mass that was once a hematoma. After 4 years not likely to hang much. Could also be a lipoma. Have someone look at it.

Question 10

how long left does one have to live with hematoma of the brain?

Accepted Answer

Maybe indefinitely: Depending upon location, character, size, and certainly, how long ago this occurred, if a patient has had a good recovery and is being treated to prevent recurrence, may do well for years.  Did you ask this question of your doctors, as they know you best?
