Re: 70yo with history of horse-fall head injury: vertigo+falling if turns head too fast. so i can persuade her to see dr: please list possible causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, possiblity: of subdural hematoma needs to be excluded. She must see a doctor immediately, because, left alone, she can get permanent brain damage. BTW Past president Ronald Reagan developed a subdural hematoma after falling off a horse, requiring emergency craniotomy.
