Suggest Treatment For Bruises On Brain And Blood Between Brain And Skull

My husband suffered a severe concusssion from looks to me like someone stomping on his face. He doesn t remember the incident, just waking up in a ditch. Surgeons at the hospital said he is lucky to be alive. The last CAT scan he had, he told me, revealed bruises on his brain and blood between the brain and skull. There is fluid in his head. Its only been three days. He left the hospital on his accord against medical advice. Im very worried. He says he is a little out of it. A little dizzy and having a hard time gaining his bearings. Im going to take him to another hospital for a second cat scan. Any advice?

Brusies in brain and blood between brain and skull are most likely contusions and Subdural/Extradural Hemorrhage. Requirement of surgery depend on extent of blood collection and if any pressure effect. if it is not that much, medical management is required only. For advising further I need to see the NCCT Head images and its report.
