What Are The Symptoms Of Concussion After A Head Injury?
Question: Hi. I actually had another question but closed out the question string. Usually when i walk my nephew to school and its raining someone walking by always manages to hit me or tap me in the back of the head with the top part of an umbrella. That can not cause a concussion correct?
Brief Answer:
no risk of concussion
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
I have gone through your question and earlier discussion on this forum.
You are too concerned regarding concussion injury after your car accident.
To explain a bit , the brain is situated in a hard shell of bone called skull which is very difficult to get damaged by trivial injuries. The brain is also well attached and relatively fixed with dura matter in skull which makes its motion a bit restricted leading to safety from minor concussions we encounter in our day to day life.
Also the brain is suspended in a fluid called CSF which act like a cushion for most impacts.
In your case these injuries are very trivial and have no effect on brain.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back with further queries.
