What Causes Indentation In Head With Headache After Falling?
Question: My husband slipped and fell. He hit his head on the edge of a table. There is an open wound and an indention to his head. He's complaining of headache, but no vomiting. Should I take him to ED?
Brief Answer:
You should get him to ED for two reasons.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, you should get your husband at ED for two reasons:
1. the indentation may be a skull fracture and needs to be evaluated further.
2. the open wound needs microsurgery to be treated properly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
