Is Flying Safe With Brain Concussion?
My husband was hit over the head with a motorcycle helmet last night and has a concussion. He is currently down in LA on business and is scheduled to fly home this evening (1+ hour flight). I don't have all the details but is it safe for him to fly home?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the MRI is normal one then no need to travel by air, as such you do not have much information then it is better to get done the MRI, if it was the concussion then MRI is must and not just this but ideally such case of head injury need to be kept under observation, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
