Hi,
Thank you for writing in.
I understand your concern.Based on the details you have given your uncle met with an accident leading to head injury.I have gone through the CT scan brain done on 14 and 15th of this month.
CT scan brain revealed brain damage, contusion of left frontotemporal lobe of brain ,left subarachnoid hemorrhage(bleed in sub arachnoid space, which is the space between layers of meninges covering the brain), and (R) preseptal edema and parietal subgaleal hematoma.
Successive CT scan shows same, there is no further new bleeds, or extension of hematoma which is a good sign. Your doctor suggestions of stopping sleeping medicine is correct and appropriate.Continue with same treatment.
If he was my patient here I would have started small dose of mannitol for edema, in addition to above.
Hope this will help you

Hi,
Based on neurological examination especially level of conciousness (glassgow coma scale > 10) one can tell the days to recover.
If he is conscious , and does not have R) hemiparesis ( can occur with left frontotemporal bleed and sub arachnoid haemorrhage) then early chance of recovery.
On an average he needs to be in hospital for a week to 10 days based on CT scan report.
Radiological recovery takes 3 months.
Hope this will help you.
