Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Pain Behind Right Eye After A Head Injury?
Hi i had a very heavy glass object fall from a high shelf onto the top of my head& slightly to the left of my head. This happened beginning of January & I am still off work & no driving. One of the symtoms I still have is a deep ache behind my right eye.
I read carefully your question and understand your concern.
Your symptoms may be related to tension type headache or to a lesion caused by the trauma.
I would like to know if you have any other symptoms like blurring vision or eye redness.
I recommend you to consult with a neurologist for a careful physical examination and perform a brain CT scan with contrast to exclude a possible post traumatic carotido-ophtalmic fistula.
An ophthalmologic consult would be helpful to exclude any eye lesions.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings! Dr. Aida
