Question 3

memory loss after head injury, wil i get it back?

Accepted Answer

Concussion: You probably suffered a concussion. With severe head trauma, diffuse axonal injury may lead to long lasting and sometimes subtle permanent cognitive impairment.  Sometimes repeating a neuroimaging,  like an mri, may be necessary.  Stay in touch with your doctor so he could determine if further medical care is needed. Recovery may be slow and it may take up to three to six months in some cases.

Question 4

head injury causing memory loss. will i get it back?

Accepted Answer

Depends on severity: Memory loss from a head injury will not return.  Some patients may have retrograde amnesia (loss of memory for incidents preceding the trauma) and some may have memory loss for events during and following the trauma.  Neither will return.  However, subsequent memory is usually normal.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Memory loss: The brain is one of our most resilient organs. Yes, you could experience improvement. My advice is that you have periodic check us with a neurologist.

Question 6

if a head injury causes memory loss. how long does it take to get it back?

Accepted Answer

Mild injury usually produces temporary symptoms, while more severe cases with damaged brain tissue will cause permanent loss of function. Much will depend on the location of the damaged tissue.
