What Causes Behavioural Changes In A Child After A Head Injury?
Hi. M 3 year old daughter fell at school and was diagnosed by our local children s er doctor with a moderate concussion and a skull fracture. I have noticed some personality differences with her since the incident. Is that normal? She seems to get angry fast and very emotional. She also gets tired easily.
Hi...Behavioral changes after a head injury are not common. if they occur they are suggestive of frontal lobe involvement and might be the harbinger of seizures too. I suggest you get an MRI brain for her. If you had mentioned in your query about the information regarding when the head injury occurred, it would have been even more useful. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
