Head Injury – Expert Evaluation & Treatment by Dr. Rajan Kumar, Renowned Neurosurgeon in Kolkata

A head injury refers to any trauma to the scalp, skull, or brain. It can range from a mild concussion to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Accidents, falls, road injuries, workplace trauma, sports injuries, or violent impacts can cause sudden damage to brain tissues, nerves, or blood vessels. Immediate medical attention is crucial, as even seemingly minor symptoms may indicate deeper complications like bleeding, swelling, or fractures.
