A member asked:
What are brain contusions? how severe are they? what effects can they have on a person? i had bleeding on the brain and two contusions from an mva.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Traumatic injury: A contusion is a bruise so these can range from mild to very severe, depending on the type of injury and the location. They can lead to long-term brain damage if they are not treated appropriately, specifically reducing any pressure inside the head and locating and stopping any associated bleeds.
