Question 1

My mom fell off her scooty on November 28th because of sudden brakes. The 3D CT scan showed a hairline fracture on her right frontal bone. Will this heal on its own or does she need surgery? It's December 1st now and she seems normal except for swelling on her forehead, lips, and black eyes. A dental surgeon said medicines should help but advised consulting a neurosurgeon. What do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Have to see the scans and condition of patient directly . Consult neurosurgeon personally.

Question 2

I've been dealing with canal stenosis for about 18 months now, and my MRI shows an AP dimension of 6.1 mm. My doctor recommended surgery, but I've heard mixed opinions some say to avoid it. Right now, I'm trying homeopathic meds and acupressure. Is surgery really the best option for me? What would you suggest?

Accepted Answer

With an AP dimension of 6.1 mm in your MRI, and given your history of canal stenosis over 18 months, your doctor's recommendation for surgery is understandable, but it's important to explore all options. While surgical intervention might be necessary, it's also crucial to consider non-surgical treatments and understand the potential risks and benefits of surgery
