Hi,
* As per my clinical experience, the loss of sensation on right forehead after head injury may be related to
- sacrificed nerves during sharp cutting injury over scalp layers
- effect of local anesthesia
- changes in relation to primary head injury
- surrouding hematoma or else
However, a detailed history, physical examination is must to comment further in this regard.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
