Symptoms following a head injury can vary widely, primarily depending on the location, severity, and point of impact. Mild cases typically present with only slight headache, superficial scalp skin injuries, or numbness. In cases involving greater force, patients may experience vomiting or altered consciousness. Some patients may have associated skull fractures, leading to cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea, with clear or bloody fluid draining from the ear.
