Critical-Poor prognosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
I have gone through the images you have uploaded.I must say he has suffered a severe intracranial damage.There appears to be skull bone fracture with a massive damage to underlying brain tissue.A large left frontal brain hematoma is obvious causing a significant midline shift(mass effect).Injury is very serious and chances of recovery is such cases are usually not good.
He must be at a place with a good Neurosurgery department with ICU facility.He is probable to need neurosurgical intervention.
NIMHANS at XXXXXXX is a good centre.In private XXXXXXX hospital or Apollo hospital(both at Bangalore) can be considered.
I feel sorry for the emotional trauma,you might have been going through at present.
If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
