A brain bleed or not makes very little difference in long term outcome. A bleed causes localized damage and if allowed to continue, can cause swelling or pressure on the brain and more seriously, the brain stem. Although a bleed may seriously damage that local part, if there is no diffuse damage such as diffuse axonal damage or high intracranial pressure, the PCS symptoms may be minimal.

Most PCS symptoms are from the diffuse injury. A bleed will have more stroke like symptoms if it is not treated right away. CT scans are the commonly used to look for bleeds. Research shows that a bleed is more likely imageable with a CT or MRI at day three. Earlier it may not be noticeable. Later and it will be absorbed by the body.

My condolences to Gibson if he has had to deal with a bleed. I am sure it is a scary experience.

Muhammed Ali has, in medical terms, demetia pugilistica. He is very fortunate to have lived as long as he has.

Gibson, What is inner ear canalysis? I have never heard of it nor can I find a reference to it.

Was your send 'issue' the result of a head impact?

My best to you.
