Hi,
How are you?
Subdural hematomas are usually accompanied by extensive primary brain injury.
Direct parencymal injury can result in weakness on the same side as the hematoma as in his case it is on the left side.
It is very difficult to tell the exact time for recovery. Many cases of subdural hematomas in young patients have a favorable outcome.
Hope this helps!
Hello,
The various functions controlled by the left frontal brain are:
• Sound input in the human left brain is specialized for discriminating the sounds of language. We can make very fine distinctions in sound, and therefore meaning. For example we can distinguish the difference in sound of "sat" and "sad."
• The left brain senses the right side of the body. These include touch, pain and limb position.
• The creative area of the left frontal lobe rearranges words, concepts, symbols, and memories into new patterns. In effect, this allows us to think up new things to say.
• The lower frontal lobe, above the eyes, has the job of stopping a person from getting into trouble through wrong actions. Because most of our thinking is oral language, this area is important for "talking to our self" and worry.
• The Left premotor area, in upper left front of the forehead, keeps track of sequential patterns -- words, symbols, ideas, that come one after another. This is highly important for humans with symbolic thinking
• The motor area covers the right hand.
Sometimes, patients of brain trauma present with neurological manifestations after treatment also. This depends on the area of brain involved and the extent of damage to that area. These may include temporary or permanent weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking, persistent symptoms such as memory loss, dizziness, headache, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating.
After discharge from the hospital, regular follow up by a neurologist is essential.
Hope I have provided you with sufficient information. In case you need more,pls post us.
Take care.
