How long does it take to recover from a brain contusion?

In life, people often suffer from some diseases in the head, and cerebral contusion and laceration is a relatively common one. Cerebral contusion is caused by external impact on the head. So how long does it usually take to recover from cerebral contusion and laceration? In fact, the degree of recovery from cerebral contusion and laceration depends on the severity of the injury, whether there are other associated injuries, the patient's age, physical condition, and whether there are other underlying diseases. etc. For general simple injuries, under normal circumstances, they can basically return to normal in 2-3 weeks.

Cerebral contusion is a closed brain injury in which the shape of the cerebral cortex in the injured area is preserved but the parenchyma is hemorrhaged and/or swollen. When the head is hit by a blunt object, in a traffic accident, falls from a height, or collides with other objects, it may accelerate, decelerate, or rotate in a linear manner. At this time, the brain tissue and the skull may move at different speeds; or it may collide with the rough inner plate of the skull; or it may slide on the uneven skull base bone plate; or shear force may be generated due to inconsistent movement speeds of various parts of the brain; or it may be directly injured in the fracture area or squeezed by brain hernia, and the brain parenchyma may suffer contusion (fracture).

Contusion and laceration of the brain can cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. As for the recovery time, it varies from person to person and requires a comprehensive judgment based on the brain CT scan and clinical symptoms. If the examination shows recovery and the symptoms disappear, it means recovery to normal.

Cerebral contusion and laceration is generally related to the disease condition. Severe cases require at least 2 months of recovery. It is recommended to go to a regular tertiary-level A hospital for treatment and symptomatic treatment.

Cerebral contusion can be mild or severe. Mild cerebral contusion can be recovered in about 2 weeks, while severe cerebral contusion can sometimes lead to a vegetative state or long-term coma, and may also leave sequelae of varying degrees. It is recommended that this be determined mainly based on the scope and degree of brain contusion. The treatment mainly includes hyperbaric oxygen, blood circulation, and brain nerve nutrition drug treatment.

Brain contusion and laceration is actually not a good thing. To determine what the specific problem is, because it is just a relatively large concept, it is best to have further examination. If there is no bleeding, it may be slightly better. But this at least shows that Iceland is getting out, or other problems are getting better. The initial injury was just a relatively small and mild illness, and there may be significant improvement after a period of time.
