I fell hit the top of my forehead on the edge of a concrete step, very hard. I went to A and E two days later as I still had concussion. They said I would be ok and to watch my symptoms. 2 weeks later, I have just about stopped getting vertigo, still tired with occasional headaches. The thing that concerns me is now that the swelling is going down, there is quite clearly a dent in my forehead where it hit the step. Is it possible i fractured my skull? and if so, can you recover from skull fracture without medical help. Thank you
Linear skull fractures heal on their own n don't require much intervention. The fact that u don't have vomiting loss of consciousness n seizures is a good sign that there isn't anything serious to worry about. The dent u mentioned, may have been a DSF depressed skull fracture but It's unlikely as the A n E guys would he taken care of it. If your worried about the dent he a re visit n share this concern if it's a valid concern a plain x-ray skull can rule it out, a more sensitive n specific test would be a CT. but I doubt u will undergo a CT as a DSF can be ruled out clinically.
