What Causes Black Eye After A Good Hard Whack To The Forehead?
Question: Can a blow to the upper forehead cause bruising to show up around the eyes four days later?
Brief Answer:
Very much depends on the nature of the blow
Detailed Answer:
But the easy answer is YES.....with a forceful enough blow you can get RACCOON EYES to both eyes after a good hard WHACK to the forehead. However, depending on where you strike on the forehead you may only get one eye involved.
Have you had X-rays of the skull since another cause of the bruises about the eyes can be that of what is known as a BASILAR SKULL FRACTURE but for this diagnosis you must have a lot of parties or get togethers.....
I hope these suggestions satisfactorily address your question and give some additional information you can discuss with your doctor for how to attack this problem. If so, may I ask your favor of a HIGH STAR RATING with some written feedback?
Also, if there are no other comments, may I ask you not forget to CLOSE THE QUERY on your end so the question can be transacted and archived for further reference by colleagues as necessary?
