With basket ball injury in head internal bleeding in brain is possible.Symptoms will be headache,vomiting, constricted pupil opposite side of bleeding. Slowly it leads to semicomatose condition to coma. So it is advisable to take MRI of brain.To be given nil orally and bed rest to be strictly followed without pillow.This should be contined till brain bleeding is ruled out.
