cranial bone<\/a> \u2013 otherwise referred to as the skull. In most cases, brain trauma may also accompany severe fractures, causing hematoma on the brain, as blood pools around brain tissue. This hematoma leads to a nosebleed and is a sign of severe brain trauma. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nIndividuals should seek immediate medical treatment. Doctors in the emergency room run an MRI scan to analyze the extent of the injury. In some cases, surgical procedures may be necessary to relieve the intracranial pressure around the brain. If this pressure continues to build, the patient may experience a stroke, or fall into a coma which leaves them in a vegetative state for the rest of their life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nSome fractures may not present immediate symptoms if the source of the blunt force trauma is low-impact, such as slipping and knocking your head against the wall. However, it\u2019s critical that you visit a doctor immediately after sustaining any form of head trauma \u2013 even if it\u2019s a mild blow to the skull, it could still cause severe repercussions if not treated.<\/span>\r\n<\/div>
