Hi Manupanu,
It will be useful to know when the fall happened and when the CT scan was done? What are the symptoms and what is the patient's clinical condition? From the imaging report it looks like there has been some bleeding and on the EEG evidence of abnormal electrical activity for which appropriate medications have been given. However, the important information is the patient's clinical symptoms and status to advise any further.
Looking forward to your reply.
