Met Accident, Injured Head, Eyes Black. What Can Be Done?
My son was in an accident this past Sunday night, four nights ago. He has a area on top of his head that isn t cut but looks like a serious rug burn right on top. He s been to the Emergency room and his family physician. This evening I noticed his eyes, they both have dark circles around them. Would further testing need be done to ensure he s okay? No one has done like a CT or anything of his neck or head thus far. I m worried about him. He s 27 years old.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Blackening around the eyes after skull injury occurs due to internal bleed.
Mostly due to skull fracture.
A further investigation like CT scan is must.
The investigation should be done urgently,
Delay can worsen the situation.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
