What causes dizziness and blurriness in eyes after a hit on the head?
Patient: My 5 year old son was running and hit the top right of his head on the door there is a bump on his head the size of a half dollar put ice for the last 2 hours swelling has gone down but now he says he sees spots all different colors should I be concerned and take him into the ER to be seen he is fine otherwise not dizziness vomiting Doctor: Immediately rush him to hospital, there might be a internal bleed which compressing the artery supplying nerves /area of vision.hence the visual changes.if there is associated vomiting and headache and any signs of weakness of any body parts or seizures,then bleed in head is confirmed. Rush him to nearby neurosurgeon, he will take an ct scan/MRI and admit him.all cases of head trauma are to be kept in observation for 48 hours even if patient is healthy as bleed can start in any of these hours.Don't panic most bleeds are treated by medicines alone without need of surgery.we have got excellent treatment if treated within time without having any complications and prevent damage.
