head injury

I know someone who has gotten in a motorcycle accident and is in a coma with blown pupils but nothing significant on the MRI , CT scans. The docs are telling the parents of this kid that he can recover. I disagree.

Dear viner,

There are many causes of enlarged pupils, one of which is brainstem injury.  Other causes include systemic or topical mediations, migraines, and other causes.  It is impossible to comment without a thorough examination and more information provided.
