Hello, I fell going down wide concrete steps four days ago on the ice, and i hit the back of my head pretty hard.  A knot came up on the left parietal bone just above the occipital bone, about the size of a golf ball.  I didnt get knocked out, but couldnt move for a few seconds.  Afterwards, I only experienced a mild - moderate headache. No other symptoms until day 3, a black eye.  My right eyelid is black and purple with some very slight swelling.   Since I havent had any other symptoms of concussion and feel pretty good, I havent considered getting a CTscan.  But now wonder if this black eye is an indication that something could be wrong.  Could this indicate some damage??
Hi, Yes definitely there is an internal fracture. Black eye means an internal bleeding. This needs to be treated immediately. You need a CT to be done. Also visit a neurologist for the proper assessment and treatment till then apply cold and ice packs alternatively to reduce the pressure on eye, also if there is a swelling on the skull you can apply ice pack over that area to reduce the swelling. Hope this helps you and you recover soon. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jenis Bhagavan
