CT scan brain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delayed reply.

It is better to ascertain that there is no internal bleeding due to the injury. A CT scan of the brain is best to rule out any bleeding or clots inside the head.

A CT withing 48 hours of fall is useful and helps to rule out any serious injury.

Wish you good health.
