Hello
It seems from the history that your sister had a fall following which she had a lacerating wound which was stitched.
Since the CT scan and MRI were normal there is no need to worry.
The headache may be because of some other reason which requires evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
