Hi Shinji, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor ! He is symptomatic for subdural hematoma, vomiting is a cardinal sign reflecting the seriousness of a brain lesion. Subdural hematoma is usually associated with serious underlying brain injury and should be treated when large/symptomatic. He can develop seizure anytime and the pressure fluctuation of flight can lead to trouble as such. Above all an airline is a poor set-up to manage sick patient like him. He should get himself evaluated first by a neurosurgeon and then decide about future course to be followed. If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you. Wish you a great health!
