A member asked:

Can getting hit with a hard rounders ball cause permanent damage to the brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely unless !: Head injury can cause permanent damage but those cases are severe traumas usually causing loss of consciousness, retrograde or post traumatic amnesia and often physical signs e.g. Memory loss or paralysis.
