Can a cerebral contusion of frontal lobe occur without fracture skull or laceration of scalp by direct blow?
Gopalberi
Yes, in fact it is quite common, especially in car accidents or falls. The brain has some ability to move within the skull, and if the head is hit from behind and the brain then hits the front of the skull, this is called a "contracoup" injury. So there may be a laceration or skull fracture in the back and a frontal lobe contusion, or there may be no noticeable damage on the head. CT and MRI may also be normal, by the way. We generally call the symptoms that ensue from this type of injury concussion and then post-concussive syndrome. It may include headaches, memory problems, dizziness, etc.
