What are the chances of getting brain damage from serious fist fight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High: Any injury to the brain is serious. Recent studies have demonstrated that even the concussion which has been described as "seeing stars" or slight loss of consciousness can lead to long term problems, particularly if repeated. The more serious concerns are blood clots or bleeds in the brain that could require surgery or lead to coma.
