What are the complications of hemorrhagic contusion ?
Patient: A small hemorrhagic contusion is noted in the left high frontal parafalcine region. This is what the ct scan report says for my brother who had met with a road accident. He had fallen down from a bike. Please clarify how serious this is and would it have further complications in future. Thanks. Sanjiv Doctor: Hello,  The hemorrhagic contusion occurs in 20 or 30 %of the injuries. The contusion will recover gradually. Soft tissue contusions can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to heal properly. Meanwhile, I suggest to rest, use ice compresses and use Ibuprofen in case of pain.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
