Brain Surgery

Why is it necessary to be dealt with by a professional doctor of brain surgery after being smashed by a key.

The human head can be divided into many layers, from outside to inside, it roughly includes: skin, cap-shaped membrane, periosteum, skull, dura, arachnoid, pia mater, and brain tissue. Each layer of tissue has its own characteristics, and it also behaves differently after trauma. Similarly, a swollen bag on the head may be caused by problems at different levels such as the skin, glute membrane, periosteum, etc. Among them, the subcap membrane hematoma may even lead to hemorrhagic shock. The skull below the scalp may also cause linear or depressed fractures due to external forces. A series of injuries may occur in the brain after injury, such as epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain contusion and so on.

Although it was injured by a small key, the possibility of skull and intracranial tissue damage cannot be ruled out. Therefore, it is necessary for professional doctors of neurosurgery to make a comprehensive judgment through consultation, physical examination and auxiliary examination, and then debride and suture the scalp wound after ruling out other problems.
